We are taking a short field trip next week on Thursday.  We will be going to the Henry Ford Imax Theater in Dearborn.  We are seeing “Flight of the Butterflies”  for our upcoming science unit on living things.

There is no cost.  We do not need any volunteers for this trip, since it is such a short trip and only to the theater.  We are trying to keep the bus comfortable and uncrowded 🙂

We will be missing our normal lunch time of 11:30, so please send your child a healthy morning snack.  One of our generous families is donating pizza to our class to eat at 12:30 when we return to school.  Thank you AlHuri family for the pizza!!

Please return the permission slip on Monday.
