🚍🦁 4th Grade Field Trip – Chaperones Needed! 🐧🐘
Our 4th graders are excited to visit the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium on Thursday, October 15, 2026, and we’re looking for a few amazing parent/guardian volunteers to help make the day fun, safe, and memorable! 💙
🕗 Trip Details:
📍 Meet at WES at 8:00 AM
🦒 Stay with students and staff throughout the trip
🚌 Depart the zoo between 12:00–1:00 PM
📌 Chaperone Information:
❤️ Chaperones MUST be an active PTA member.
🚗 Chaperones must provide their own transportation.
🎟️ Admission is $15 per chaperone.
🥪 Please bring your own lunch.
Each 4th grade classroom is requesting 3–4 parent/guardian chaperones. At this time, we’re simply collecting names of those interested. Submitting your name does not guarantee selection, as final assignments will be made closer to the trip.
If more volunteers sign up than spots available, we may:
✨ Place volunteers in another 4th grade classroom, or
🎲 Randomly select names to ensure fairness.
📝 Please respond by Thursday, October 1, 2026.
If you’d like to be considered, please include your student’s teacher’s name when you sign up.
Thank you for helping make this a great experience for our Lil’ Riders! ❤️🖤
