Lansing Trip/Bottle Slip Update


Thank you all for returning your note regarding the Lansing field trip so promptly!  I am very sorry for being incredibly forgetful about following through with this note.

I had so few parents express an interest in turning in can and bottle slips that I think we’re going to leave this up to individual families.  My recommendation is for interested families to save slips in an envelope and return this just before the check is due for the field trip.  You’ll have all your money for the trip saved that way!

Second, the bus will cost us $750.  This is the final total as there is no fuel surcharge this year.  We’ve also had a donation made by a Montessori parent that will bring down the total for each family.  Assuming the PTA gives us $5 per student for the field trip, the final total per family is $23.

I’m really excited about our Lansing trip!  Last Friday’s guest speak, Congressman Bill Huizenga made so much of what we’ve been studying come alive for the kids.  When we visit the capitol and hall of justice in Lansing we’ll once again see what we’ve read about and researched take on a whole new meaning for the kids.

Thanks for your help and support!

Mrs. Perrien
