LIVING HISTORY FIELD TRIP

     Living History field trip is tomorrow. Students need to bring a lunch or money to buy lunch unless they have ordered a sack lunch from their school account.  We'll leave around 11 a.m.and return about 2:15 p.m.
     Parents going with us should check in with Mrs. Edson in the office between 10:45 and 11, and then wait for us in the PAC.  Please remember to sign your child out at that time if he/she will not be returning to school with us. If you are going to meet your child there and want to sign them out, one of the 6th grade teachers can help you.  We think we have enough certified and non-certified volunteers to have at least 2 parents in each group.  We have wonderfully behaved children this year, so we don't anticipate any problems!
