8th Grade Field Trip Information
You will need a sack lunch if you didn't order a lunch from school. We will eat as soon as we arrive at the prison. Concessions are not available.
Please wear comfortable shoes - we will be walking for over 2 hours. Also, the prison is drafty, so you will probably want a jacket.
We will visit the gift shop before boarding the buses to return. They sell snacks, if needed.
We will not return until close to 4:00 pm. Students need picked up by parents at Blennerhassett Middle School at 4:00pm
