Field Trip Tuesday

We are going on a field trip to Lemos Farm Pumpkin Patch this Tuesday, the 17th.

Thank you to the 4 chaperones who have volunteered to come!

Free Dress: Due to the nature of this trip, children do not have to wear their uniforms.

Snacks: Children will be back in school on time for lunch. However, they will be eating a snack when they arrive to the farm. It would be very helpful if you could pack their snack in a ziplock bag and write their name on it.
