I will host a parent meeting in December regarding our upcomming trip to Fort Steele on Thursday May 31. To help cover costs, the Grade 5/6 Class from Canyon/Lister Elementary School will be joining us.
The students have chosen two activities they would like to participate in and I am in the process of booking them. In addition, I am looking into visiting the Cranbrook Railway Museum.
Food Preservation Description: In the 1890's food preservation was crucial to the well being of the townsfolk. In this program, students will prepare meat in a smoker and dry apples that they can take home. They will also learn the important steps in canning, drying, and pickling.
The First Spike Description: Hear the catastrophic effects on Fort Steele when the town was by-passed by the B.C. Southern Railway and the demanding work of a railway worker. Then the students will build a section of track using authentic railway tools, and finish the program with a pump-cart ride on the tracks.
At this point, I am expecting the trip to cost $30. This will cover all costs associated (programs, bus, overnight trip and food).
I will be looking for parent volunteers to assist. In particular, I will be looking to create a parent group to help purchase and organize the food.
If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.
