Please do not send any money. We will not be buying anything.
PARENT CHAPERONES: You are welcome to follow the bus or meet us at the Safari Park in the sitting area (Log Benches) near the front entrance. Please be sure to bring a backpack as you will be collecting the students' lunches then. Also, please keep a lookout for information about the chaperone groups and schedule that will be sent home this week. All chaperones will also need to complete our Volunteer Guideline Agreement.
We will be allowing students to dress up on Halloween! While students are not required to wear costumes on Halloween, those students who do wish to participate are reminded of no masks and no weapons.
Have a great week!
