7th Grade Field Trip Information

On 3/10/20, ALL 7th grade students will be going on a field trip to the DIA to experience the Ancient World exhibits. Our goal is to have 100% participation in this field trip so that every student can have the experience of seeing artifacts from the ancient civilizations they are studying in class.

We are in need of parents to help chaperone the trip and appreciate your support! If you can chaperone, please make sure to fill out the second page of the permission slip and have your student return it to me.

We will leave school during 1st hour and will return in time for lunch.

The permission slips are due back to me by this FRIDAY, 2/14/20
