***We will be outside most of the day rain or shine, so please remind your students to dress appropriately for the weather. Encourage them to wear warm clothing, a jacket, hat, gloves and insulated boots in the winter. In the spring and fall students should wear long pants and old tennis shoes or boots, as the trails may be wet or muddy. Riveredge will supply rain ponchos if necessary. Please check the weather forecast and plan accordingly.
