For our end-of-the-year field trip, we're heading to Ohio!
Nearly 375 million years ago, northwest Ohio was a great sea teeming with life. Fossil Park is rich in fossilized brachiopods, coral, and more than 200 species of prehistoric life. You’re going to dig exploring for these buried treasures, and the best part is, you get to keep whatever you find!
Students from the area have found museum-quality fossils. When you visit U of M's Natural History Museum, look for specimens marked "Sylvania, Ohio." They were found at this location!
DATE: Wednesday, June 10th, 2026
TIME: Arrive at the park around 9AM.
Meet at school at 8AM if you need a ride
ADDRESS: 5705 Centennial Road, Sylvania, Ohio
WHAT TO BRING: Old toothbrush, sunscreen, hat, substantial lunch, water bottles
DO NOT BRING: Metal tools are not allowed at the park
If it's a hot day, it can get VERY hot in the pit. This is why we need to arrive a bit early before the heat is unbearable. Be sure to have extra water, a hat with a brim, and sunscreen.
DRIVING NOTE: We were informed that there is construction near the closest exit. Your GPS should route you around it and take you down a couple of side-streets to the park.
There are biking and hiking trails at the park as well as a large city park nearby. You can make a day of it!
Parents, please contact Mr. Liou or Mrs. Dudek if your child will need a ride from school.
