Field trips

 

Field trips are offered throughout the year. They can be organized by any SHINE parent and are available to all SHINE members (active members are parents/guardians and member children--adult children or other extended family members many not attend the field trips). Guidelines for planning field trips are included in the membership packet. There is a Field Trip Leader Form that can be filled out to request permission to hold a field trip for the group. See the Event Calendar for already scheduled field trip dates and times.

 

School Pictures

 

Our school pictures are usually taken twice a year on our Co-op's paperwork day. These pictures are used in our yearbook and are also available for individual ordering.  You do not have to participate in Co-op to get your child's picture done. Please see the Event Calendar for specific date and times and plan on coming down for picture day!

SHINE offers a yearbook each year. Photos for the yearbook are taken throughout the school year during different events and classes. Our yearbook team works hard all year to create a wonderful yearbook for our families to enjoy.
