Also, be sure to bring a sweater or jacket for on the bus. Bus AC can be variable! OK to bring a backpack. The bus will not be available during the time we are at Griffith. All food items will need to be stowed away in your backpack (Griffith does not allow food into their exhibit halls but you may eat at the inside/outside tables).
FIELD TRIP WAIVER FORM: All students will be required to turn in a waiver form. Waiver can be filled out on the bus.
