Einstein Overnight Information

Below is some important information and the agenda for the overnight. The information is a bit lengthy but we hope it answers any questions you may have! We look forward to our overnight this Friday! 

Overnight Field Study Important Info 
·         Einsteins should come to school on Friday in regular Mayo bottoms or jeans along with a Mayo polo or spirit shirt. We will have a special overnight shirt for them to change into that morning. 
·         Einsteins will be dismissed from the cafeteria in the morning at 7:45 in order to allow them to use the bathroom, change and be ready to leave at 8:00. Please plan to arrive at school by 7:45 that morning, 7:30 if your child will need breakfast.
·         Buses will leave Mayo at 8:00 sharp.  Buses will be parked in front of the Wilson Auditorium on Columbia. Since we are leaving during morning drop off, you will not be able to park behind the buses. The address for the WONDERtorium is 308 W Franklin Ln Stillwater, OK 74075. You may follow the buses if you wish or meet us there. (Keep in mind, buses drive slower than cars J)
·         While at the WONDERtorium please make sure that the children in your group are using walking feet, treating materials nicely and staying with you. We also ask that you make sure they have a bathroom break before loading the bus. Lunch is from 10:45-12:15. Please make sure your group eats during this time. You may eat anywhere but the carpeted museum floor and the gift shop. If it’s nice, feel free to have a picnic outside!
·         There is not a concession stand at the WONDERtorium. You will need to bring a lunch for yourself!
·         We will load the buses to return to Mayo at 1:50
·         If your child is not staying for the evening activities, they will need to be picked up in home base by 3:30. Just a reminder, we will not be back in time for your child to ride the bus!
·         If you are staying for the evening activities relax and enjoy some down time away from the children! Grab a coffee, go home and shower/nap, go shopping, etc. We will see you back at Mayo by 5:00
