Information was sent home this week about our "in school" field trip called "GeoSpace" on Wednesday, April 8th. This program is run by the DuPage Children's Museum and supplements our math curriculum by enriching students' experience with geometry. The fee for this event is due on or before Wednesday 3/25.
Has your child turned in his/her permission slip to attend the all school field trip to the Tivilo theatre on Friday, 3/27? We are still missing some slips. Students must have a signed permission slip to attend the outing.
