Schedule for the Week of March 24-28

Hello! 

I hope you all had a nice break! Here is what we have going on in the week ahead!

Important Reminder:  We have a field trip tomorrow Tuesday, March 25 from 1:00-3:15.  We will be heading to the Lowry Nature Center. We will be learning about how they tap the trees for sap to make maple syrup!! It will be fun, but a bit cool as a large part of the field trip is outside. PLEASE make sure your child is dressed for the weather tomorrow. They will need to wear all of their winter gear! (Hats, mittens, boots, snowpants... etc.)

The field trip is only in the afternoon, so they WILL be eating lunch at school, so no need to send a packed lunch.

Also, if you would like to meet us there and enjoy the field trip with us, you are more than welcome to do so. :) Please let me know if you plan on doing this, as you will need to fill out a school volunteer form. Thanks!
