They have their part highlighted.  Please help them memorize their lines and practice every day.  Also, brainstorm costuming ideas. Thank you.

All field trip chaperones are welcome! Please let me know if you'd like to join us on any of the trips. Space is only limited on the FITaos trip. If you plan on attending that day you might consider driving or carpooling with another parent.

Field trip forms will be coming home in May. Please send them back as soon as you can.
