Sugar Maples 2010














What a fantastic day! We were able once again to visit Sugar Maples under the direction of the AMAZING RitaMary Vining to design and paint reusable canvas bags. The weather couldn't have been better and Miss Rita treated us to an absolutely fantastic day. The purpose of this trip was to kick of a BYOB: Bring Your Own Bag campaign to promote reusable shopping bags as an alternative to plastic or paper bags. Each student designed a bag with a positive environmental message to help spread the word and encourage others to BYOB.

    Dearest Friends,
    Thank you so much for all the beautiful notes and blogs about our amazing day together. It meant so much to my Drawing and Painting class that you invited them to spend the day with you and participate in your field trip. We had one of the very best days working together with you, my students use their bags everyday to carry their supplies to class. They also took many pictures that we would love to share with you.
    Be good to each other and your amazing teachers and have a wonderful year, we are looking forward to our farm field trip in the spring. Thank you!
    Love, Ms. Ritamary Vining and Class
