On Wednesday, November 28th we are going on our first field trip to the Museum of Anthropology. We will be asking for parent volunteers to drive us. If your child needs a booster seat, please send it with them. Students should arrive at school 8:30. We will leave the school by 8:45 to arrive at UBC for 9:30. We will be doing the “Pole Walk” program until 12:00. Students will eat their lunch and enjoy the gallery until we depart at 1:15. We will aim to return to Urban Academy for 2:00 as we are doing a First Nation music program after DPA. Parents are invited to stay for this program or can leave once I am back at the school.
