Informational Meeting for 4th Grade Parents

There will be a Parent Meeting on Monday, October 29th to discuss the Sutter's Fort Environmental Living Program. The meeting will be held in the Library at 7:00 pm.

This is an informational meeting for parents only. For those of you who are not familiar with this

program, the Sutter's Fort Environmental Living Program allows students to relive a part of history. The students, along with program directors and trained parent helpers, will spend 24 hours (May 2nd - May 3rd) as a living museum, portraying characters of 1840s California at Sutter's Fort, Sacramento. Those involved partake in the various trade activities and entertainment of the era. Weekly courses will be held on Wednesdays, February 27th - May 8th (12:45 - 2:00pm) in the MUR. This experience is one you and your child will never forget.

For questions, please contact Program Directors Kelly Gallagher at kelgallagher@gmail.com or Jill Olivier at jillolivier@yahoo.com .
