We are planning another field trip!! We will be going to The Dallas Arboretum on May 1st. Each class will need 3-4 chaperones to help with this trip. Chaperones will meet us at The Arboretum as there will not be room on the bus. If you are interested, please complete your volunteer background check as soon as possible. It takes a bit to get these back. Thanks so much!
