Reminder to 5th grade families: Tomorrow is the field trip! We will be leaving the school promptly at 7:30 AM so it is super important to be on time. If you are going on the trip as a parent, please be sure to park in the lot near the electric sign. Remember to wear comfortable walking shoes and layers as we never know what the weather will hold. We hope the 5th graders have a wonderful time!
