ZOO FIELD TRIP

Unfortunately, we had to change the date of our zoo field trip because of a scheduling conflict with NCHS athletics.  Our trip has been moved to May 12th.  I apologize for this inconvenience.  

The cost for this trip is $11.00.  Please send in $11.00 if you have not already done so.  We are not permitted to bring food inside the zoo, therefore we will all eat at the zoo.  The cost of lunch is included in the $11.00 charge.

**A note will be going home today about this scheduling change.

Play Field Trip

We have been asked to attend an environmental play on April 16th.  We will be eating at school that day.

**A permission form will be going home today.
