Lots happening this week…

All Field Trip money is due TODAY. Trip is next Monday, Oct., 21. Remember to wear weather appropriate clothing. It might be cold! Also, wear comfortable shoes and bring a sack lunch. For those parents not chaperoning, your child will be assigned to another parent. Parents meet at school to carpool. Only students ride the bus. Parents may follow in cars. Bus will probably leave around 9:15 ish and return around 2:30. I will confirm our return time when I speak with the Bus Driver.
