INCLEMENT WEATHER: This is Texas, so we know crazy weather is always a possibility! Once severe/hazardous weather appears on our forecast, we will keep a close eye on developments. We will make updates on our social media and website of any same-day closures. We will NOT close in the event of light scattered rain or due to muddy conditions, but we invite you to don your rain boots and umbrellas and come play anyway! In the event of closure, we will work to reschedule another day in our season.

Because we are a farm in a rural location, we do not have adequate trash service to accommodate for our large field trip crowds. To avoid attracting critters, we require that you take your trash to your school dumpsters. We will provide trash bags for your use. Please appoint one parent per class in advance to help you with this task.
