Please try not to schedule any appointments that week so that students are in school all week. Remind your student(s) to get plenty of sleep each night and eat well each day.

Salt Dogs
Saltdogs Field Trip
 August 2015
To Parents/Guardians of 5th Grade Students:
On Wednesday, September 2nd, LPS 5th grade students will attend the Lincoln Saltdogs baseball game in Haymarket Park. This community event is made possible by the generous sponsorship of the Lincoln Saltdogs organization. Thanks go to many parents who have also contributed. Free bus transportation and game tickets will be provided for all students.
The first pitch will be at 11:00 am. School staff will accompany their students to the game that is expected to end about 1:30 pm. LPS and charter busses will transport students from school to the game, then return them to school prior to dismissal. Students should bring a sack lunch and refillable water bottle to the game or they may order lunch from the school cafeteria.
Prior to game day, teachers will be using various instructional activities related to baseball within the curriculum. This field trip provides many opportunities for 5th graders to apply what they are learning in math, reading, writing, science, social studies, character education, health, physical education, and other areas of the school curriculum. It is also an effective and fun way for students to learn about their community and some of the outstanding resources Lincoln has to offer its citizens.
During the game LPS students will lead the singing of the national anthem, serve as guest announcers, and participate in activities between innings. Students will remain with their teachers during the game. The public will also be admitted to this game, however no alcoholic beverages or peanut products will be sold. Parents are welcome to purchase tickets and attend the game, but they will not be able to sit with their students.
We look forward to making this field trip a special day for our 5th grade students as they begin their final year of elementary school. If you have any questions about this event, please contact your student’s 5th grade teacher. |
