Class Hike

Hi Families,
This Friday, October 8, will be our class trip to Mount Elmore. This is an annual community building trip that I love to take with my students. It is a decent hike with some rock climbing involved. There is a fire tower and a gorgeous view at the summit. Elmore Mountain is in the "Hogback Range" and has an elevation of 2,608 feet. There is a beach area where we can play if time allows after we descend.
We plan to leave UES by bus at 8:45 and return by 2:15.
Kids should bring a lunch and drinks (they can order a bag lunch from the cafeteria), layers of clothing, and sturdy shoes or boots. They may also want tissues, a camera, extra socks, and extra snacks. Everything should be carried up the mountain in a backpack.
We'd love to have parents join us! Please let me know if you can be part of this. You can ride on the bus with us or meet us there. It is a fabulous trip!
Thanks,
Melissa
