LTSA Field Trips!

 Dear LTSA Parents & Family Members, October 14th, 2021

We are excited to share with you some upcoming opportunities for field trips! Looking for an opportunity to meet your volunteer hours? Look no more! We will need parent drivers to volunteer to drive our students to each of these enriching opportunities. 

Although fully booked for the season, we were able to squeeze in as one of the last school groups to visit Sweet Berry Farms for a Community Building day of pumpkin patches and corn mazes for all grades! We understand this is a last minute request, so please let us know in the survey below if this is something you would be interested in chaperoning. COVID has prevented us from field experiences and we are excited to bring them back this year! This field trip would take place October 26th and we would aim to arrive at Sweet Berry Farms around 10 AM that morning. The cost of this visit would be roughly 10 dollars per student. Address: 1801 FM 1980, Marble Falls, Texas 78654.

An Elementary (K-5)  trip we have planned is a visit to the Inner Space Caverns in Georgetown. This connects directly with science studies we have been doing in K-5 classes (animal habitats, bat studies, and earth formations). This trip would take place November 4th and we are expected to arrive at the cavern by 9:45 AM. The cost of this visit would be roughly 10 dollars per student. Address: 4200 S. I-35 FRONTAGE RD, GEORGETOWN, TX 78626

Additionally, we are hopeful to take a trip to Texas A&M Galveston for 2nd-5th grade students to learn about sea turtles and see how scientists excavate their nests to protect this endangered species. This trip will tie into their current HUB project that is focused on innovating solutions for animals in need/endangered species. This trip will take place November 18th. Please fill out the Google form to let us know whether you and your child would be interested in this field trip, and whether you would prefer an overnight stay or a day trip. If we stay overnight, we could potentially also include a visit to the Moody Gardens Aquarium and/or the beach in Galveston.

Please fill out this form to provide your input to help us plan these field trips. Thanks for all your support this school year so far! We are looking forward to many more partnerships this year.

With gratitude,

LTSA Teaching Staff
