American Waste Field Trip

Monday, April 22th

9:00 am to 11:00 am

We will be touring a state-of-the-art recycling plant here in Traverse City, where students will wear safety vests and goggles to walk along the assembly line and climb the machinery to see the whole course that recycling travels. It is our hope that children come away from this field trip with a new appreciation for recycling and a desire to recycle more things for the rest of their lives.

The cost of the field trip and the bus to transport all of our 2nd graders safely is approximately $200.

$3 to cover the cost for one child (free field trip, approx. $3 bus)

$10 to cover the cost for my child + 2 others

Please send your donation in cash or check made payable to: WW PTO

Thank you!  We will be walking on machinery, so plan on sending your child to school in protective tennis shoes (no open toes or heels). We will be indoors, but it could be chilly, so dressing warmly is recommended.

We also need about 5-6 parent volunteers for this field trip. You can meet us there or follow the bus. Please let me know if you are able to help. Thank you!
