I was pleased to talk to many of your Moms at the Open House last week. Now we get a chance to talk to a Mummy! Or maybe we can talk to Sue (see pictures at right)! We will be taking a field trip to the Field Museum on Monday April 28th! Please remember that their will be a lot of walking. Wear comfortable
shoes. Each child should bring $6.00 for lunch at McDonalds unless your child already turned in money for lunch or is bringing a sack lunch.The lunch staff would like to remind you that you should buy several lunch tickets at once.
