Middle School Chicago Trip 2010

It's finally arrived and all our hard work fundraising this year has paid off! We are off to Chicago on Friday, May 14th. All students need to arrive to school between 7:00 and 7:15 a.m. We will leave St. Joan of Arc at 7:30. Students will need to dress for the weather -- jeans, comfortable shoes, sweatshirts, etc. Keep in mind that Chicago is always colder than Indianapolis, and we will be on the water. Students should bring the following other items:

• back pack or purse to carry around the city
• camera
• umbrella or rain jacket?
• snacks for the bus ride (however, only water to drink on the bus)
• pillow (if wanted)

**Please be sure that the backpack / purse is comfortable to wear all day long! We will not keep personal belongings on the bus.

Here is our itinerary for the trip:

7:30 a.m. Depart Indy

10:30 a.m. Arrive in Chicago

10:45 Walk to Adler Planetarium and tour facility

11:45 Cosmic Collisions Sky Show

12:15 Lunch

1:30 Field Museum

3:30 Board bus to Wacker Drive for Architectural Lake and River Tour (boat ride)

5:30 Walk to Navy Pier

5:30-7:30: Navy Pier

7:30 Depart Chicago

10:30-10:45 Arrive back in Indianapolis

We are looking forward to a great time! If you have any other questions, please contact Mrs. Funk at sfunk@sjoa.org

Middle School Field Trip to Victory Field

As part of the Sports Connection portion of Math class, students will have the opportunity to watch an Indians Game at Victory Field on Thursday, May 13th. Students may be out of uniform, as long as their apparel is school-appropriate. We will depart school around 9:30 and return by dismissal. Students will need money for lunch, as we cannot bring any food or drink into the ballpark.

KIB Work Day

As part of our Keep Indianapolis Beautiful grant, the entire school will be working on the grounds of St. Joan of Arc tomorrow, May 12th from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. Students should dress in clothes and shoes they can wear to work outdoors. Keep in mind that it may be wet, so our students may get dirty. Hopefully the weather will cooperate!
