A Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That.

Hello Parents,

Here are a few things that you need to know:

-Camp Cosby: Dates of the trip are October 5th-6th. The cost is $95.00 for each person going on the trip. Parents are allowed to drive on the bus, and if they choose to ride in their own vehicle, the cost will still be $95.00. Money is due by September 25th. If you cannot pay the full amount now, please send in a $50.00 deposit. Groups will be assign once all the money and permission forms are sent in. Cabins hold from 12-16 people, and once we have all the money turned in, then we will divide the groups and send detailed information to those who are only going on the trip. So far, the following teachers will be attending: Mr. Dent, Mrs. Evans, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Collins, and Mrs. Busch.
The activities include, canoe, animal adaptations, aquatic organisms search, and "Ways of Old Days" simulation (this is like living in the pioneer days). We will also have campfire time at night. Bring money for the souvenir/snack shop. The camp will supply three meals. You may visit the Camp Cosby website at www.campcosby.org.

Snacks
Parents, please send in snacks for the students if you can afford it. There are some students who are not a fortunate to bring snacks on a daily basis.
You can get a 30 pack of animal crackers from Sam's for only $12.00.
United Way...
