No Homework!

Enjoy the weekend. We'll continue to read Touching Spirit Bear next week. Since the week has many activities planned, please check the white board daily for details and schedules.

Field trip looks to be rainy. Dress appropriately in layers (sweatshirts, slickers, windbreakers) and sneakers or waterproof boots if necessary. This type of weather occured three years ago and we still had a great time. There will be a list of chaperones and students available on Monday so be sure to check where you belong.

Good luck to the cast and crew of Tom Sawyer. I can't wait to see it!!!!!!
