Money is due for the Symphony Field Trip by next Wed.  I will be posting names on the blog and through a homework watcher who have not turned it by Wednesday of next week.  I will also mark chaperones that need to pay. 

Annual Fund Dinner Shirts will be ordered Friday.  If your child is the AFD Choir, they will need to have their money and orders in, this is their costume.  Please send the orders to Mrs. Simms.  If your child is in 8th grade, I will need to know their size by Friday, money can follow if needed.  You are also welcome to turn them into the office.  Any middle schooler that would like a shirt due to their participation in that night, I need to have the money and order Friday.
