[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hmmm. Ideas about what would happen with a field trip to kings dominion tomorrow (Thursday)?[/quote]

We have a Kings Dominion trip this Friday. Fingers crossed.[/quote]

Ours on Thursday is for middle school students - all the band, orchestra, choir kids. [/quote]

Hoping the air is a little better since it's a good hour further south? [/quote]

Maybe? However South Carolina is reporting air quality problems from the fires too. Be prepared for change.[/quote]

What will happen if we are outisde all day? I picked up my kids early from school today and let them play outside, there nothing wrong with the air.  I am in the Fair-lakes area and I don't see anything a little bit foggy, but that all.  They are making the same mistake they did with COVID.  [/quote]

But there is an established air quality alert system already in use, and we are in the range where it's not recommended to be outside even if you are a healthy person. It's not like they are just making this up on the fly or reacting - we just don't deal with wildfire smoke that's this intense very often.

I have a job where I work outside and I will be out all day tomorrow doing physical work. Not asking or expecting to get out of it. But, I understand schools canceling outdoor events. I think it is best practice to follow the established guidelines. [/quote]
