Field Trip Information
As part of our Mount Vernon/Pioneer unit, we will be going
on a field trip to Usher’s Ferry on Friday, May 20. We
will leave at 8:45 and return at 2:45.
Please send a cold lunch and drink with your child.
Half of the day will be spent in the one room schoolhouse,
where the students will be experiencing school as it was 110 years ago. There will be another teacher in charge
during that time who will be conducting lessons.
The other half of the day will be spent touring the
village. The students are all assigned a
character from that time. These are
people who actually lived in Usher’s Ferry 110 years ago. We are learning about each family and their
history. The students will be able to
tour their own house and learn about life during that time period. They will be on a guided tour of the business
district as well as the town.
This is a fun day and students are encouraged to
dress for the time period. I have sent a
couple of notes pertaining to dress and rules for the schoolhouse.
There will be beverages available for purchase (root beer or
sarsaparilla) for $2/bottle. The general
store will also be open where the students can purchase small items. They are priced anywhere between $1 and
$5. Buying items is optional, but if you
would like your child to make any purchases, please send money.
If you would like to make a donation to help cover the $8.25
admission cost, it would be much appreciated!
