Spring Trip Update!
Parents, we thought we would have more information to you regarding the Spring Trip by now, but the Travel Company we are using was responsible for the All-American Band that performed in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade and they are behind in their paperwork! They send their apologies for the delay in information, but promised we would have more details within the next week. There is a payment of $150 due December 7th, but we will extend the deadline to January 10th!
We have requested one of the Disney All-Star Resorts (Music or Sports), but they have NOT confirmed that for us yet. We also do not have any information regarding how many chaperones we will take and/or whom they might be. PLEASE BE PATIENT and know that I will get information to you just as soon as I receive it! I thank you in advance for your cooperation!
