This is a reminder that any student who has not turned in a permission slip for the Spirit Trip next Monday needs to do so as soon as possible. We will be leaving right after students eat lunch, so no food will be provided at the pool. Students are welcome to bring their own snacks as long as they only eat in the designated picnic area. It is also important to bring a water bottle as it might be very hot.
