Ferry Beach — What should I bring?

Good morning,

     Tomorrow (Wednesday) after the first Allied Arts class, Barclay students pack into busses and head down to the Ecology School at Ferry Beach in Saco. We will spend the rest of the academic day there, exploring the dunes and the forest and learning about the environment and the management of our natural world. Students will come back to school in time to get on their regular bus and go home at their regular time, or attend whatever after-school programs they do.

     Please remember that this means students will be walking on uneven ground for a period of multiple hours, with a break in the middle to each lunch. We highly suggest students wear closed-toed shoes, either sneakers or boots, so they do not injure themselves or break a sandal by slipping. The weather is predicted to be 75 – 80 degrees down in Saco that day, so you won't need any cold-weather gear like we will in the spring, but be advised that the school dress code still applies on field trips.

     Many students have indicated they will bring their own bag lunch on the trip; students who have said they need a school lunch have told us already, and will have a school-provided bag lunch available.

     We are looking forward to a good time!

With anticipation,
Mr. DeMaris
