9-24-12 Daily Update

Parents,

Next Wednesday October 3 the students will be taking a field trip to Providence Metropark in Grand Rapids where they will ride on a canal boat and tour a working lumber/grist mill.  A permission slip for this trip went home with your child today and should be returned by this Friday.  We can take along a few parent chaperones, so if you are interested, please e-mail me or sent in a note with your child.  We will leave school around 9:30 and return around 1:20.  Chaperones will need to arrange their own transportation, pay for the admission ticket for the boat (I think it is $5 or $6), and bring a lunch if you'd like to eat with us at the park.

The "emergency" supply of snacks I purchased at the beginning of the year is now gone.  Since we eat such a late lunch (1:00), it is important to send your child with a healthy snack each day to help tide them over.  If anyone would like to make a donation of pretzels, cheez-its, or goodish for the class, it would be much appreciated!

Reminders:
  • Permission slip for Canal/Mill trip
  • Send in any donations for "Backyard BBQ" theme for basket raffle.  I have a few bottles of BBQ sauce, but nothing else at this point.
