Third-grade students at Sheckler Elementary School will be taking a trip to the historic George Taylor House here in Catasauqua.

Students in third grade will be taking a field trip to Lost River Caverns in Hellertown May 15. This field trip is tied to the third-grade science curriculum, particularly the rocks and minerals unit.

Since the caverns remain a constant 52 degrees, a jacket will be needed along with rubber-soled shoes.

Students should bring a packed lunch in a bag that can be discarded. Parents are asked to remember not to use glass containers.

The annual fourth-grade egg drop will be held at Sheckler May 10 at 1:15 p.m., in the lower parking lot.

Students are asked to create a protective container to keep their uncooked egg from breaking. No glass should be used and the container should be no bigger than a shoe box.

The Catasauqua Fire Department will drop all containers from a height of approximately 50 feet. An update will follow with the number of eggs that survive the drop. Good luck to all participants.

Students will be going to Jacobsburg on a field trip.

Students in Mrs. Santoroski's and Mrs. Elek's classes will go May 14. Students in Mr. Alley's and Mr. Burker's classes will go May 28. Mr. Wilson's class goes June 3.

I would like to wish all the mothers a blessed and happy Mothers Day, filled with love and laughter. Enjoy your day.
