Middle school students will be attending field trips this Wednesday, May 10th. The ladies were invited to BHSU for a STEM day at the campus and many wanted to attend when they heard about it. The gentlemen are going to Wonderland Cave, lunch in Sturgis Park, and hiking Bear Butte. Parents are welcome to join the hike and lunch portion of the boys' trip. I do not know if there is enough room on the tours to add parents since we are trying to change the time we attend so we do not have rain during our hike. Permission slips went out today with the middle school students. The ladies' bus leaves at 7:35 and their itinerary is attached to their permission slip. The gentlemens' bus leaves at 8:00 and their itinerary will be sent out as soon as we receive word from Wonderland Cave.
