Hickory Hill Park
Each child will need to dress appropriately for the unpredictable Iowa weather. Wearing layers allows us to adjust as the day progresses and comfortable hiking shoes are essential. Long pants and long sleeves are helpful to protect skin from plants. We may be muddy, so please plan accordingly. Students will also need 2 snacks, a water bottle and a big lunch in order to have energy for the day. Any extra items in backpacks will only be extra weight for them to carry, so please consider reorganizing backpacks in preparation for this day.
Camp Tanager
This wonderful opportunity can't come to life without your support. To cover the cost of travel (via school bus) and camp admission we are asking parents to help assist in the cost for this event. By Monday, May 15th please drop off $10 per child to your child's classroom teacher. If you are interested in donating additional money to support the cost of this event and to ensure that all K-6 students can join in the fun please let your child's classroom teacher know. Your support is incredibly appreciated. If this cost creates a burden for your family please let your child's classroom teacher or our Head of School know so we can be of assistance.
In preparing for our visit to Camp Tanager, students will still need to bring their snacks, lunches, and water bottles. Comfy clothing, layers, and tennis shoes are encouraged. Please be sure your child has applied sunscreen at the start of the school day. K-6 teachers will have Willowwind-supplied sunscreen on hand to reapply during the day.
