We are going on a field trip with our 8th grade buddies to Dinges Fall Festival in Three Oaks, Michigan. The field trip is on October 9th. This is the same day as picture retakes. We will take retakes before we leave. If you want to get retakes, feel free to dress your child however and then bring a change of clothes (jeans and Friday shirt or uniform shirt) for the field trip. Students will need to bring a sack lunch that day. Permission slips are going home today.
