The location is rarely open to the public and because BPA needs security clearance, sign-ups must happen by October 7th so sign up early to save your spot! Cost for this field trip: FREE! We'll leave school @ 11:15 and return by 3:30. Check your school email account to sign-up. Sign-ups due by 10/7.
