A NOTE FROM MARCO TO 7TH GRADE FAMILIES
Dear 7th Grade Families,
All is well on the 7th grade trip! We decided to adjust our itinerary for a safer and much more comfortable week in the rain. We will be staying at Dunn School for the remainder of the week. Dunn School is located near Los Olivos in the Santa Ynez Valley. Located just off of Hwy 154, we are in full cell phone service and in much closer proximity to Emergency Services and general needs. The students will be able to play basketball and volleyball in the gym, and we will use their library for our “campfire” in the evening. Our tents will be set up in a open field. There are no trees near us. It's extremely safe, and we have many options for activities. Plus P.A. and Scott have an incredible kitchen set up for us so yummy warm food and hot drinks are constantly available...and hugs too!
Today we were blessed with sunny weather, wild turkeys, horses and a perfect ride up into the Sedgwick preserve and back out. It was a perfect Middle School ride and we are feeling blessed to have done it. The rest of the week lies ahead of us, and we are ready to seize those wet days as well.
Communication protocols on the trip remain the same as my last email. Please go through the office if a communication needs relaying. If there is a very real and urgent emergency that needs to get to us ASAP, Lilli's cell is
805-448-8614
.
Please stay safe on your side of the mountains and know that your kids are safe, healthy, and happy with us. We will see you on Friday and send an update if there are any changes in pickup. As of now, pick-up remains scheduled at 2:00 pm at Goleta Beach.
Carpe Diem,
