Capitol/Des Moines Trip

8th Grade Field Trip 2013

On Monday, May 13, 2013 the 8th grade class will be taking a field trip to Des Moines. Our bus will be leaving as soon as the Dow City busses arrive at school around 8:20AM. Students who walk or get a ride to school should be sure to get to school at this time.

Our first stop will be to the State Capitol judged by many to be the most be one of the most beautiful state capitals in the nation. We have an 11:15AM tour planned which will take approximately seventy-five minutes. We then proceed to the Iowa Hall or Pride located near the Wells Fargo Arena and Veterans Auditorium. There we are schedules for a ninety minute tour beginning at 1:00PM.

Since our time is limited, I’m asking that everyone bring a sack lunch and plenty of snacks for the bus ride. If you want the school to provide a sack lunch, please let them know a few days ahead of time so that we can be prepared. We plan to eat our lunch at the West lawn of the State Capital.

We will not be back to Dunlap before the busses leave. We expect to arrive around 4:45-5:00PM. Students who live in and around Dow City will be dropped off at Dow City on our way back to Dunlap.

      Thank You,
