Reminders:

·                     Freedom Train - On Tuesday, a permission slip was sent home for our upcoming field trip to Miller Outdoor Theater. We will attend a performance about a mother and son’s journey to freedom on the underground railroad. Our trip is set for this Thursday, 4/27, and we plan to sit on the hill and have lunch while we are there. Your child will need to pack a hat, small (beach) towel, and a disposable sack lunch. Since this event is quickly approaching, I appreciate your help in returning the signed forms and $6.00 (cash) fee as soon as possible. Also, please email me if you would be interested in joining us as a chaperone. Thanks for your support!
