Here is the information from the 6th grade Learning Coordinator for tomorrow and the field trip:

It looks like the weather will questionable tomorrow morning so we will just have to monitor that.  If it is storming, we will obviously have to stay at school.  Have some movies and games ready.  Nate has a few movies saved on his computer if you want that.

If/when it clears up, everyone will walk over to the pool together.  Kris Bauer has the wristbands and the lifeguards will be on duty no matter what the weather is.

** We will all have to be flexible and understanding. If we do not get to the pool right away, we will get there as soon as we can.

Thanks for your understanding. 

Middle Ages Faire was a success! Sorry I did not get more pictures without students to share with you. Thank you for all the support!
