Dear 8th Grade Families,

Our children are in route on their way home from Yosemite. We are sure they will all appreciate a hot shower, their own warm bed tonight and have lots of great stories to share.

As of now, they are scheduled to arrive around 4:30 pm. We will be sending out updates via WhatsApp as we get them from the chaperones if the time changes. Please plan to arrive 10 minutes early and you will need to sign you child out before leaving.

Please see below for additional updates.

Your 8th Grade Room Parents,

Paige Astbury, Donna Caruso, Lisa Gascou, Paige Greenspan, Monika Merchan, and Julie Merges

We are still in need of items to be donated to the Miracle For Kids outreach for the 8th Grade. Please click the button below to view our message from Nov 16th with all the details. Sign-up List for 8A is full, but 8B still has items available. You can sign-up for either class list.
