Camp and Other Field Trips

We are going to Nature Bridge this year for camp, June 6, 7 and 8. Check out this link for more information about the program and check back soon for more information about camp.

Don't forget, we still need to pay for camp and the rest of the field trips for the year. Many people have already paid the first installment for camp and field trips of $200 and only need to pay the additional $200. If you need assistance with these payments, we do have scholorships. Email Laura in the office at lremme@seattleschools.org and she will set it up. If you have forgotten if you have already paid, feel free to email me and I can check my records.

Thank you so much for all your support this year.
