Farm visit

• On Friday, September 28, we will visit a small, sustainable farm about 30 minutes drive east of Salem ("Bona Fide Farm" -- in Latin bona fide means real, true, honest )
• Dress warmly and bring a raincoat or umbrella if it's raining. Wear sturdy shoes that can get dirty.
• We will leave at 12:40. Come early if possible. Unless you wish to leave your backpack in the classroom, you can go directly to the vans out front. I will lock room 144 just before we leave.
