Important Field Trip Update!!

Last week you received a permission slip for your child to attend a showing of the movie “Earth” for a science field trip. Thank you so much for your quick response in returning the permission slip! The students are so excited for this fun and educational movie. Originally the field trip was scheduled to be on Wednesday, April 22nd; however, the tickets were in such high demand that by the time we received the permission slips we were unable to get enough tickets for this day. Therefore, we have moved the field trip to the following day, Thursday, April 23rd. The time of the field trip remains the same. If you were one of the parents who volunteered to drive to the field trip and this presents a problem please let me know as soon as possible. Also, please remember that the money for the trip is due by Thursday, April 8th. Thank you for understanding!
