Cross campus icon Gr 5 Bridge to Armleder Field Trip
-
CHCA Armleder School

In this new tradition, the Gr 5 Upper E students will spend the entire day learning with their future classmates from Armleder. The goal is for our students to "see" Armleder in a new way and begin to build friendships with their future classmates. A Day at Armleder is the first step in our plan to build stronger relationships between the two buildings as both sets of students prepare to enter the Upper School as peers and classmates.

Following our day of learning at Armleder, phase 2 will involve the Armleder students spending the day here at UE on an TBD date in February. Both staff have worked diligently to prepare an exciting day of learning that will involve a series of station activities.

The students will be placed in groups that will continue through future visits at UE, Field Day near the end of the year, and continuing onto 6th grade camp next fall.

Cost per student: $0, but each students needs a completely disposable lunch that includes a beverage.

Students should wear their uniforms.
