Hello juniors families,
I am planning a field trip, for juniors families only, on July 12th. To start the morning out we will meet at a Home Depot in Evanston, IL at 10:00. There we will have a scavenger hunt to determine what items, for sale in the store, are made of rocks and minerals that are obtained from nature. Here your child can earn check marks for an earth resources achievement badge.
Then we will walk from the parking lot of Home Depot to Northshore Sculpture Park which is a 17 minute walk. After viewing sculptures and possibly picking up food at a nearby Greek restaurant we will eat lunch in the park. Then we will walk back to the Home Depot parking lot where we will get in our cars and leave to go to our second attraction.
From Home Depot we will drive to the very impressive Dave's Down to Earth Rock Shop, also in Evanston, IL. We will spend a half hour in the basement on a tour of the paleontological museum displays. Then we will go upstairs to the main gift shop and do a brief tour. At that point everyone can leave whenever they want. I'm expecting that to be no later than 2:00.
In order to attend this field trip you must be a member of ESCONI and you must be a junior or a family member of a junior. You also must sign up with me prior to July 1st. Our limit is 30 people.
I will send more detailed instructions on July 1st.
Sincerely,
Scott Galloway
