🚍🦁 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! ❤️🖤

🖤❤️Hancock County Schools are joining together in the month of September to collect tabs for the Ronald McDonald House.
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
Ronald McDonald House pull tab program turns aluminum tabs from soda, soup, and pet food cans into money to help families of sick children. This is the simplest gesture to help families in need for those unexpected emergencies and need to stay at a home away from home. These tabs help go towards the payment to house a family in those crucial times. For many families, this will be super easy if it's something they already have at their house. We plan to collect vigorously the entire month of September. Please send in tabs with your child to turn into their homeroom teacher! ❤️🖤
