Below is a reminder about the trip to the Heritage Village on Thursday. If you have any other questions, please email me.
To help create the atmosphere of a village in pioneer times we are being encouraged to come dressed in period costumes. Here are some suggestions that might help.
Boys: Wear suspenders and a white, collared shirt
A pair of overalls, or jeans with a work shirt
A bow tie
Boots or dark coloured shoes
Pants chould be tucked into a pair of work socks to make “knickers”
Jacket or vest
Girls: A dress with a fancy collar, or a blouse with lace or frills
A bow or ribbon in the hair; hair pulled back, braided or in a bun
Pinafore (an apron with a bib)
shawl
Students will need to bring a lunch for their school house lunch; please include an unbreakable container for water. For an authentic experience, we suggest that the students try to bring foods grown in the immediate area. Lunches back then were carried in honey pails or wrapped in a cloth. Here are some ideas for you to try: homemade bread or rolls, cold meat left over from supper, hard boiled eggs, cheese, jam, oatmeal or ginger cookies, pickles, vegetables from the garden, native fruits, and a container of milk, apple juice or lemonade. These are just ideas.
We plan to leave from MCS at 9:30 a.m. sharp. We expect to be back at MCS 3:00 p.m. and the students will go home at the usual time.
