At the Midland Center for the Arts

I have attached the permission slip and detailed information with today’s newsletter.  The cost per student and adult chaperones is $4.00.  I am willing to take up to ten chaperones so if you would like to go please let me know ASAP and I will pencil you in.  Remember you need have cleared a background check to attend and chaperone school field trips.  If you haven’t filled it out please let me know and I’ll get you one from the office.

Box Tops

We are nearing the end of the year and the end of our collecting time for Box Tops.  If you have any and you would like to donate them, please send them in as soon as you can. We really appreciate all donations as the money goes to helping out our school.

Wishing you and your families a very Blessed and Happy Easter over the weekend!

On a side note, please do not send candy to school in the kiddo’s lunch boxes as we are trying to promote healthy eating habits and we don’t need them all sugared up in the afternoons.  Thank you!
