    Fall Retreats 2022

    September 26 – 30

    Each fall, OWL students engage in a four-day intensive experience. The objective of these fall retreats is to begin the school year with an experience that will build lasting friendships and provide the foundation for future collaborative fieldwork. Below is a summary of what will happen at each grade level. More information will be available at goal-setting conferences. Starting this year, there is a flat fee of $120 for all experiences.  Please use this link to pay for your fall retreats: https://cr-ssl.rschooltoday.com/secure2/ce_SPPS/php/productmgr.php?action=classDetail&classId=513&categoryId=&programId=38.

    *Partial scholarships are available upon request. Contact Dave Gundale (651-293-8670/dave.gundale@spps.org).

    Fall Retreats Week is a huge undertaking and spreads our staff very thin. Parent chaperones are needed for each grade level for both overnight and daily trips. Please consider taking the time to help us make these trips a success. Contact Dave Gundale 651-293-8670/dave.gundale@spps.org.

    Please use the following link to sign up to be a chaperone for fall retreats: https://forms.gle/Lm18UqqAJH9w1Lz9A.
