McWane Science Center Field Trip - Tuesday April 7th:

We are looking forward to this exciting field trip. Please note that this field trip is scheduled Tuesday following the long Easter Holiday weekend.
Because the 6th grade classes are much larger than the 5th grade classes it will be necessary to pair a 5th grade homeroom with a 6th grade homeroom on each bus in order to have sufficient space. One bus will have 5A, Mrs. Ferraro's homeroom along with 6B, Mrs. Powell's homeroom. The other bus will have 5B, Mrs. Rotton's homeroom along with 6A, Mrs. Sanders' homeroom. Once we arrive at the McWane Center, the two 5th grades will combine to form one group and the two 6th grades will combine to form another group for the tour of the museum. The itinerary along with more details will be provided later.

Money for this field trip is due by March 20th.
