Dear Parents,
Please remember to send in your child’s zoo money ($8) and permission slip. If you are planning to be a chaperone please send in $16. All money is due by this Friday (10/17). This money covers the cost of the lunches. Since we know that a great many of you have zoo memberships we are asking that all chaperones pay their own admission at the gate on the day of the field trip. Since this is a Duval County Public School field trip the students receive free admission to the zoo.
If you are planning to order your child’s school pictures, orders are due this Friday 10/17. If you want your child to retake their picture please send me or Mrs. Lomblo/Mrs Erickson a note. Picture retakes are Tuesday 10/21.

Way to go boys and girls!! Our next book is called Flips, Turns, and Area.
