OPI IS TOMORROW!! YEAH
















YEAH O.P.I. is TOMORROW!




Please check your child's bags to make sure EVERYTHING on the list is packed. Just in case you might have mislaid the list, please refer back to October 1st blog entry which is listed as Olympic Park Institute Clothing and Equipment List. It has EVERYTHING your child needs to bring. As I mentioned in yesterday's blog, PLEASE put your child's name on the black trash bag! (Feel free to do so on the items inside as well.) For the sake of clarification: Please feel free to pack a duffel bag, and then have the bag in a black garbage bag with your child's name on it. A separate labeled garbage bag is to have the child's sleeping bag, bath towel and wash cloth, soap, tooth brush, tooth paste, pajamas, robe, pillow, and flip-flops for the bathroom. Please pack a few zip lock bags for the tooth brush and a separate one so the soap can be put in it. Perhaps one for the washcloth, too. Just a suggestion from a veteran.
Never fear, Mrs. Gellert's here! I have black plastic 45 gallon garbage bags with masking tape on them for your child's name. They will be here tomorrow morning for us to put your child's gear into if need be. So, please do not fret if you do not have a large black garbage bags at home or masking tape. Not a problem.


Make sure your Explorer gets a good night's rest. I know all Explorers will be excited, but sleep is essential. So is a good breakfast. I will be serving snacks on the bus to OPI. ALL SACK LUNCHES MUST be in the student's hands as they board the bus for we will not be able to get their lunches out of the bags in the back of the bus nor the bags underneath them. Thank you.


That should about do it. Please check on yesterday's blog entry and reread it for the times of departure and arrival. We will be LEAVING at precisely 8:30 tomorrow morning. Please ARRIVE at school by 8:00 so we can start loading the bags.


ONE LAST CRITICAL ITEM: If you have ANY medications either prescription or over the counter, we MUST have them in their prescription bottles or for over the counter drugs (Tylenol, cough syrup) they must be in their boxes and/or original bottles. Please refer the following which was from Joslyn's e-mail regarding this:

OPI meds need to be in their original containers - not a ziplock bag of pills we hope are what the parents say they are. That applies to Tylenol and other OTC meds as well.


It's going to be an awesome 3 days and 2 nights!! I look forward to this every year! I can hardly wait!
