Living History Trip

          On Wednesday, October 10^th the Belmond-Klemme sixth graders will be traveling to Des Moines to visit The Living History Farms.  This trip helps students see the changes in agricultural practices, Iowa life, and technology over the years.  We are very fortunate that the Belmond Community Service Women are covering the cost of the trip.

          We will leave promptly at 8:15 Wednesday morning.  Students may enter the building at 8:00 and take restroom breaks so we can depart in a timely fashion.  Sack lunches will be provided for all the sixth graders so no one needs to worry about packing a lunch or bringing food!  Students may bring their iPod, Nintendo DS, etc. for the bus ride, but we are asking that they leave their cell phones and cameras at home.  Please remember that they bring these electronics at their own risk. 

          We have a full day planned at Living History Farms and will not depart the Farms until 2:30.  This means we will not be back in Belmond until 4:30.  Students who normally ride the bus will need to make arrangements for someone to pick them up.  Bus transportation will not be available. 

          This is a wonderful trip and opportunity for the sixth graders.  Please encourage your child to be a good representative of the Belmond-Klemme Schools.  If you have questions about the trip, please feel free to contact me.
