Friday Field Trip!

As part of the long Friday Specialty Programs for junior high, we have arranged for what promises to be a meaningful field trip to the Statehouse and Supreme Court, Friday, October 8. At the Capitol, students will have a guided tour and time to participate in interactive activities, and at the Supreme Court, they will engage in a tour and a mock trial. Students will leave CTA at 11:15 a.m. and return for regular 4:00 p.m. dismissal. We are requesting that each child bring $5.00 to cover the expense of the bus and a packed lunch for that day that can be eaten en route.
