3rd grade newsletter
On April 19th, 3rd grade will be going on a field trip to Minute Maid Park. We are sending home the permission slip WITH a WAIVER TODAY that Minute Maid Park has asked us to have each student complete. If we do not receive the waiver signed with the permission slip, per Minute Maid Park- your child will NOT be allowed to attend the field trip. Please return the permission slip with the waiver promptly.
Please note we will be returning to campus at 12 pm for lunch.
Please do not send money/baseballs with students on the day of the field trip- this field trip is only a tour of the stadium.
