The Great Pumpkin left Wart Elixir Bat Juice for the Ants today!

Reminders about tomorrow's trip:

•  Lunches are taken care of. No need to send anything. 
• There IS a small gift shop, but not really much there for the kids. It's up to you if you want to send $$ or not. 
• Tomorrow is Pirate Day and the kids are encouraged to dress the part. The kiddos have PE before we leave, so they may want to add their accessories when they get back from PE. 
• Chaperones, please arrive at school by 9:45. I expect to be on the road at 9:50.

Homecoming Week is next week!

Homecoming Week Dress up Days:

Monday: Class colors or theme (Our class color is lime green and our theme is Ants.)

Tuesday: Ladies and Generals

              The girls dress up “fancy” and the boys are soldiers.

Wednesday: Favorite Bible Character

Thursday: America Day (red, white, and blue)

Field Trips:

Two permission forms went home today.

1) The first is for Pirate Day on October 31st. This trip will be to the Old Exchange Building and Provost Dungeon for a tour, book talk, and pirate scavenger hunt in downtown Charleston. The kids will dress as pirates to go along with the trip theme and we will have a boxed lunch picnic at White Point Gardens.

2) The second is for Kennedy Space Center on March 5 and 6, 2015. I need to know who the adult will be that is accompanying your child in order to set up rooms. I can't put a mama in a room with another kid's daddy! Please e-me today or tomorrow and let me know who will be the adult going. I will be pairing up kids and adults, with the plan being 4 to a room. If you would like to pay for a private room, there is an additional fee. I will need to know about this ASAP. T-shirt order forms will be going home Friday. The cost of the shirts is included in the trip fee.

I promised the kiddos 500 SB points for each form that is returned to me tomorrow and another 500 SB points if they have Pirate Day payment tomorrow.
