Thank you to all those who went to Chevy's last night! Every little bit helps!

May 1st is the last day to turn in medical forms, which also means that all students need to have the appropriate immunizations.

For the trip, fifth grade needs 3 male chaperones and 2 female chaperones, so please contact me if you are willing to go. It really is going to be a great experience! I have the list of families that would be interested in chaperoning, and with the exception of one family, it was not denoted which parent would be willing or attend.

Thanks!
