SUMMARY:SPT Elem - Greyrock Farms Field Trip
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Greyrock Farms on April 21st at 10:00am! \nDuring the field trips students learn the strawberry life cycle and pick strawberries to take home. It is typically a pint sized container for students to fill up\, but that depends on availability. The classes then load onto the hayride wagon where they travel to the dairy barn to see the cow milking process. The dairy barn is not completely functional; however students will still be able to see the cows up close and learn in the dairy barn. \nThere is a farmed themed playground and picnic shelter available. Feel free to bring a picnic lunch to enjoy at the playground. \nPay on site – For students the cost is $11.00 and it’s $8.00 for teachers/chaperones. (Only the kids get to pick strawberries\, so if parents would rather hang back during the tour while a couple parents attend that would be fine).

SUMMARY:SPT 3rd-5th Walnut Grove Plantation Tour
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a guided tour of Walnut Grove Plantation on Friday\, March 29th at 10:30am-1:15pm. Step back in history as we tour the Manor House\, kitchen cabin\, academy\, grounds\, cemetery and complete a living history activity which will be making a colonial toy! Pack a lunch to enjoy at the picnic pavilion. Cost is $6 per student\, $5 per adult. Must be paid when you register.\nItinerary for the day as follows: \nITINERARY: \n10:30-10:45: Arrival & Introduction – Please park in the gravel parking area just beyond the Visitors Center\nparking lot. The group should remain in their vehicles or in the parking area while the group leader comes\ninto the Visitors Center to check in. A staff member will then come out to welcome the group to the site\, and\norganize your group into two even halves. This process moves more quickly if everyone (ALL students and\nadults) in your group is already divided into halves before you arrive. For the guided tour\, we may further\ndivide the halves as needed. \n10:45-12:15: Guided Tour & Living History Activity – Half of the group takes the guided tour of the Manor\nHouse\, kitchen cabin\, and academy and half of the group completes the living history activity. Then\, the\nhalves will switch. If needed\, restroom breaks will take place during this switch. \n12:15-12:45: Lunch – At the picnic pavilion. Restrooms are also available at the pavilion for the group’s use.\nPlease be sure to take your trash bags to the dumpster after lunch. \n12:45-1:15: Grounds Tour & Gift Shop – On your own\, tour the plantation’s grounds–the outbuildings\,\ncemetery\, gardens and nature trail–usually in about 30-45 minutes. Students must be supervised at ALL\ntimes. If you’re planning to do so\, you may also visit the gift shop during this time. Groups of 10 students at\na time with an adult are allowed in the shop. A gift shop visit makes the trip special and helps us keep our\nadmission fees low. To assist you in this self-guided portion of the visit\, I’ve enclosed a plantation map full\nof historical information to make the grounds tour much more educational. Please copy and distribute to\nchaperones. \n1:15: Departure
