viernes: Don't forget your permission slips!

Dear Parents,
MEAP tests begin Tuesday, October 12. Please encourage your students to eat a good breakfast and to get to bed early. I will try to control myself, so they will not have too much homework. J

Thank you so much for sending in your deposits for the eighth grade trip or for letting me know when the deposits will arrive. The number of travelers has increased. At present we have 17 students and 20 chaperones. When I have the names of everyone going, I will have the refigured cost of the trip, but it will be less than the last amount I sent home.

Don’t forget the eighth grade trip fund-raising meeting at 9:30 A.M. Sunday, October, 10 in the eighth grade room. If you have any questions, please call Terrie Fiehn.

We will be recycling pop cans and bottles on Friday afternoon during school, beginning at 1:15. Thank you parents for agreeing to transport us and cans and bottles. We will leave right at 1:15.

Next week I will be sending home a permission slip for the October 18 trip to Macomb Center for the Performing Arts to see The Diary of Anne Frank. (See below)

Have a great week in the Lord,

Sally Buss

Good news! We were able to get tickets to the Diary of Anne Frank on Monday, October 18 at 10 A.M., Romeo and Juliet on Monday, February 14, 2011 at 10:00 A.M., and The Secret Life of Bees, on Tuesday, March 22 at 1:00 P.M. I will be sending home a permission slip for all three and a request for $15 to cover the cost of all three. I also ordered four adult tickets, in addition to mine, at $10 a piece, for each play. I think we can get them there in five cars. If you would like to chaperone any of these trips, and know now, let me know on the permission slip. Otherwise, we will figure out drivers closer to each event. Thank you.


***If I have not heard from you yet, please bring back trip form with traveler’s names on it and deposits. ***
