Enrichments

Field Trips:

Every year FOWHE funds 2-3 bus field trips per grade. Teachers and parent liaisons work together to coordinate their field trips.  A written permission slip from a parent is required before a student can participate in a field trip. By helping to subsidize the costs of transportation and admission fees, Friends of West Hollywood Elementary helps broaden the knowledge and horizons of all students in the school.

*All children participate in field trips regardless of their family’s ability to donate.
