Totally awesome field trip

Today was great! We went to Des Moines for Exercising your Character. Shawn Johnson, Billy Cundiff(NFL kicker), Miss Iowa, Kirk Ferentz, Fred Hoiberg...and more taught the kids about the importance of school, having good character, and being healthy. We did some exercise, saw some fireworks, and were given free lunch, a t-shirt and a water bottle. The kids behaved amazingly. All 7000 5th graders were given the free t-shirt (all the same color) and most were wearing them. That gave me a little bit of a nervous stomach! Nothing like picking out our 55 kids in a sea of blue t-shirts! I'm adding some pictures and a couple of websites to check out on this terrific day. Remember field trip #2 for the week is Friday to Eagle Grove Ag. Days. You NEED a lunch for that one!

Des Moines Field trip

Tomorrow, Tuesday, we will be going to Des Moines with Mrs. Trampel for a field trip. No lunch is necessary, as it is provided by HyVee. No electronics on the bus please. Everyone wear your blue t-shirt (also provided free of charge). Many of the kids left it at school! It is going to be amazing. Stay tuned to find out what happened!
