Our team field trip is Thursday, April 30th. We will leave campus at approximately 9:00 a.m. and return around 1:00 p.m. Please review appropriate bus behavior with your child prior to Thursday’s field trip.

Lunch will not be until 1:00, so eat a good breakfast! Please provide a sack lunch for your child or have one pre-ordered from the school cafeteria. If pre-ordering from the cafeteria, please make sure that there is enough money in the lunch account to cover it. Our cafeteria no longer does lunch charges! 

If you would like to come eat lunch with us, please sign in at the main office in Building A and come over to join us. We will have a picnic lunch outside on the front lawn (if weather permits) so bring a beach towel to sit on. If you would like to just drop lunch off for your child and can not stay, please sign in at the office and bring it over. 

Parents that have sent in money for me to purchase a ticket, just meet me at the Pink Palace ticket office upon arrival and  I will have it for you. We thank you in advance for taking time to come be with us. If you would like to join us, but have not purchased a ticket yet, please contact the box office at 320-6362 to see if any seats are left for the 11:00 showing of “Mummies.” You will have to pay the box office price which is more expensive. Due to time constraints, I can not take any more ticket orders.
