🚍🎢 Six Flags Trip Weather Update – We Are Still Going! 🎢🚍
We wanted to share a quick update for our Six Flags St. Louis trip this Friday regarding the weather.
At this time, we are still planning to go as scheduled ✅

The updated forecast shows:
☀️ Dry and comfortable weather in the morning
🌤️ Warm temperatures (mid–upper 70s)
🌦️ Chance of scattered showers and possible storms beginning after 1:00 PM

This does not look like an all-day rain event, but there may be periods of rain in the afternoon that could cause temporary ride delays.

🎒 Students should come prepared with:
• Poncho or light rain jacket
• Comfortable tennis shoes
• Spending money (park is cashless)

🎢 Important reminders:
• The park will remain open in light rain
• Rides may temporarily close during lightning but will reopen when safe
We are expecting to have several great hours in the park before any weather moves in and are looking forward to a fun day!

We will continue to monitor the forecast and communicate any changes if needed.

CONGRATULATIONS to Brody Sullivan, Keagan Mandrell, and Ms. Culbreth!🏀 They all competed in the Junior High NCAA Bracket Challenge where students filled out NCAA Tournament brackets before the first day of the tournament in March. At the end, the student with the most accurate bracket was set to receive a prize! Brody and Keagan both guessed 45 out of 67 games of the tournament correctly for an accuracy of 67%! Ms. Culbreth did the same and won the staff portion of the competition! We had 22 brackets filled out and the students had so much fun watching as the brackets were updated throughout the different rounds of the tournament. Thanks to all who participated! We’re looking forward to repeating this fun activity next year! -Mrs. Dunning
