Boston Field Trip:  Two parent names have been pulled from a hat to ride the bus with us down to Boston (Ellen Bernard and David Moores).  The rest of you are welcome to join us in Boston.  We will begin at the Boston Tea Party.  If you are planning on meeting us at the Tea Party, make sure to be there earlier than we will arrive to ensure you can purchase a ticket.  They have a max capacity.  Otherwise, you can meet us at any point along the way.

IF you would like to take your child home with you from the field trip, please send me an email. You have to sign a form prior to the field trip day. 

The bus will be departing SMS at 8:00 so be sure to have your child here at 7:45. 

Have a wonderful weekend!
