Dear Parents,

We will be going on two more field trips this year.  We will be going to the Dinosaur Park on Thursday, March 5.  I will be sending home the information and waiver today (so please remind your child to give it to you).  Please make sure to fill everything out.   We will also be going to the Hogle Zoo on Monday, April 20th.   The donation for each of these field trips is $5.  We truly appreciate your help with donations.  That is what makes our field trips possible.

Below is the payment link.  You can pay for both at the same time if you prefer.  Thank you!
