The Brewers Baseball Game Field Trip will be on May 7th.  More information will be coming home soon.  If you are interested in chaperoning please make sure you have a Criminal Background check filled out in advance.  In the past, there have been backgrounds check not cleared by game day so according to District Policy those parents can not go. A Criminal Background check must be filled out each school year.   Also in the past this has been a very popular trip, so there is usually a raffle held and a waiting list for chaperones.  Parents who did not attend the Madison Trip are given first priority, as all students would like for a parent to attend a field trip, if at all possible.

Tomorrow is Mismatch Day.  Thank you to everyone who has donated food for the Leadership Club Food Drive.  Anyone still interested in donating may do so until Friday.

Computers and WiFi were down on Friday and Monday so students who were publishing their Leprechaun Catcher through Google Docs were not able to type at school.  Many students asked if they could type at home.  I told them if they have their parents permission that is fine with me.
