Magical Mystery Tour Passport




About the “Magical Mystery Tour” Passport

The passport is a log for earning the “Art Charm” for the S.A.G. Tag at Lockeland. Each child has a S.A.G. (Students Achieving Greatness) Tag at Lockeland. The S.A.G. Tag is a necklace that students add charms to throughout the year. Charms are earned for various reasons in all classes at school. The “Art Charm” represents the magical crystal that is hanging above our Magic Carpet in the art classroom. In the art room your child can earn their “Art Charm” by visiting the stops listed in the passport. The “Art Charm” is strictly an extra credit activity.

Each nine weeks your child can choose from two of the below stops on our “Magical Mystery Tour.” On the pages of this passport your child can draw - write about and/or photograph their experience at each stop. Please sign each of your child’s pages and send the passport to Lockeland before the nine weeks grading period ends. Your child will receive their charms in a grade level gathering at the beginning of the next nine weeks. I will also return your child’s passport at that time with a “Magical Mystery Tour” stamp on each completed page.


“Magical Mystery Tour” Stops(Choose two places from this list each nine weeks – please do not repeat stops except for Fairy Tales Bookstore and the Art Crawl – that can be a stop each nine weeks) Fairy Tales has a free arts and crafts time with story time every week day afternoon at 3:30. Please check off your stops as you go along your tour this year. All the places on this list are local, most of them free, and they are all related to art, architecture, landscape architecture, or interior design
