We will be going on a field trip tomorrow. We are going to see a Scheer's Lumberjack Show and then having a picnic lunch at Shue's Pond if the weather cooperates. If your child has signed up to receive a sack lunch from the the school they are all set. If you child did not sign up to receive a sack lunch from the school, THEY are responsible for bringing a cold lunch in a disposable paper bag. We WILL NOT be here for school lunch, so please be sure your child has something to eat! Also, there are few students who have yet to turn in their money for the trip.

If a student does not have this money by tomorrow morning, they are not allowed to come with us. Please make sure your child has turned in his or her money to me. Thank you! :)
