Carpooling to the State Capitol & Trip Info

StateCapitol

Attached is the link to sign your child up if you know they will need a ride on this Friday’s Field Trip. A few Certified Drivers have kindly volunteered to take the students from North Shore Aquatic Center (Across from MMA) to the State Capitol then pick up from the SLC Public Library & returned back to North Shore.  http://www.wejoinin.com/sheets/ofars

Spaces are extremely limited, please sign up quickly. If they become full, team up with other parents. Have one drive there while the other picks up or have your child ask their friends how they are getting there. Maybe they can ride together. If you have any questions you may call Melinda (801) 695-6188
