Outdoor School Trip was a Huge Success
My chaperones did an amazing job helping make this a fantastic experience. Please tell Mr. Fox, Mr. Reed, Mr. Kassell, Mr. Kerchville, Mr. Balisacan, Mr. Miller, Mrs. Dohm, Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Whitton, Mrs. Coffey, Mrs. Hardy, and Mrs. Burke that they ROCK! I have never taken a team of chaperones that have done such an outstanding job.
A big "thank you" to Northlake Church for allowing us to borrow a covered trailer. It was wonderful to have all of our gear in one trailer.
