Cranbrook fieldtrip Nov 12th
Bring a bag/sandwich box lunch that is easy to identify and won’t be squashed. The staff at Cranbrook will take the lunches from us and store them in bins until lunchtime.
The chaperones for this trip are: Mr. Curran, Mrs. Diehl, Mrs. Sherman (Kohl), Mrs. Henricks, Mrs. Erne, Mrs. Schiller, Mrs. Hanley and Mrs. Krause. If any of our chaperones have a conflict in their schedule, please let me know. We have two ‘alternates’ who can chaperone in your place. Thank you
