Our trip to Missouri State University in Springfield is just around the corner. We will use our regular school day to visit the school on Wednesday, April 6.
Electronics and music players (with school-friendly games and music) are acceptable for this trip. We just ask that the volume be turned off of earphones be worn while in use. Sack lunches (in completely throw-away containers) are requested from home, or will be charged through the cafeteria just like a regular school lunch.

It's easy to talk about my behavior expectations, but we will definitely be discussing and practicing good behavior and specific etiquette for each venue. Our goal, as always, is to humbly impress our hosts and onlookers. Ideally, no one should know we are entering a building, we must be complimentary to our hosts, and we will arrive and depart with handshakes and direct eye contact. We'll also create a list of possible questions to ask while we are there.
This year, we will visit the university on the same day as other Joplin schools. This is truly our opportunity to make an impression - not because we need the recognition, but because we want to set a new standard for manners in our world.

Another field trip is also in the works for the next couple of weeks, so stay tuned!
