I Need Permission Slips and Drivers

Students: Tomorrow is the last day to turn in permission slips. I need them by the end of the day, so if your got lost, get a new one and have your parents sign it when they pick you up after school.

Parents: We still seats for 10 students. If there is any way that you can drive, please let me know. Thank you in advance for carting our kids to the field trip.

We have begun our Magazine Drive fundraiser to raise money for our (room 9 and room 22) Call of the Sea overnight trip scheduled for November. The cost per child is approximately $90, this includes the night stay at the hostel, the trip on the chip, a trip to the Precidio Archeology Museum, and chaperone fees. Soon, Beth and I will be sending home a parent survey in order to give us a better idea of just how much money needs to be raised (we are also thinking of doing car washes as well as pie orders as additional fundraising opportunities).
Let's get the fundraising ball started! Order or renew your favorite magazine subscriptions today! To order or renew online, click on the link below. Hooker Oak's 5-6 grades get 40% of the profits!
