Downers Grove Field Trip:  We will be taking a field trip to Downers Grove as part of our Social Studies unit about our city on Thursday, December 4th from 9 am to 2 pm.  Everyone will eat at Giordano's restaurant (please send a cold lunch if your child decides not sign up for a pizza lunch). If you would like, though it is not necessary, students can also bring $5-$10 in cash on the day of the field trip. Your student can spend this money at the downtown Downers Grove shops.
