Kindergarten Field Trip to Pratt
Fairfield Kindergarten students got to enjoy a trip to Pratt on April 21st. Our first stop was at BTI. During their visit at BTI the students enjoyed a tour of their facility. They got to go upstairs and look through the windows to watch the "Shop Guys". The highlight of the trip was getting to see a brand new JD sprayer. The students also all got a BTI shirt to wear. Next we went to Pizza Hut where they each made their own pizza for lunch. Thank you Jen Seward for helping make this part of our trip possible. Lemon Park was another stop for some outside play time. Our last stop was at McDonald's for some ice cream. We had a wonderful day. Thank you to the parents that helped during our day and to our bus driver Tyler.
