New Field Trips Added
Nevada County Media-Wednesday, February 5 - TK-8th Grades 10-1:30 or so
An interactive field trip has the participants doing hands-on projects. These might be a PSA, a segment for our news show, a short stop motion story, narrative storytelling, acting (performing a variety of short pieces on camera), or an animation project. Activities are determined by age and size of the group. This field trip has a minimum of 10 students and a maximum of 15 students.
Middle Mountain Interpretative Hikes of the Sutter Buttes Friday, March 7, 2025 - TK-8th Grades 9:30-2:00 or so.
Families will meet the hiking guide either in Yuba City or Like Oak. All of the hikes are interpretive in nature – meaning that your guide will stop periodically and share natural and cultural history information. The hikes are almost always on uneven terrain, even if it is relatively level walking. They don’t follow many paths, nor are there groomed trails. All hikers should wear hiking boots or sturdy shoes. Athletic/running shoes are not always comfortable for most adults. Hiking sticks can be helpful. Everyone should carry snacks, lunch, water and whatever else they need for the day in a daypack. All hikes are on private property through the agreements the organization has with property owners. Arete students are paid for by Arete and parent hikers are $30. Non-Arete siblings should be at least 4 years old to attend and also cost $30. This fee MUST be paid on Mealtime or in exact cash/check at the Arete front office by February 21.
InConcert Sierra Tuesday, March 17, 2025 - 2nd-5th Grades 10:30am-12pm
InConcert Sierra is excited to announce our annual Third Grade “Just for You” concert, scheduled for Monday, March 17, 2025, at the Seventh-day Adventist Church, 12889 Osborne Hill Road, Grass Valley, CA. WindSync, the energetic wind quintet who last performed for Nevada County third graders in 2019, returns to once again thrill young patrons. Young Audiences of Houston described the musical ensemble as having: "... an extraordinary ability to connect with students, educators, administrators, and parents in a powerful and meaningful way." We will continue our practice of providing 30-minute lessons by trained docents prior to the concert. This will acquaint your students with the music and give them an idea of what to expect at a live classical concert - probably a first for many of them!
