Camp Silver Spur Reminders
Thank you for supporting our Outdoor Education program by selling candy bars. The money for the first box sold was due on Tuesday, January 30th. You may continue to sell more boxes beyond that time. If your child is not going to camp, you are also welcome to help us sell candy bars. They are $1.00 each, and there are 60 candy bars per box. This fundraiser helps get us closer to our goals! If interested, please see Mrs. Grewe.
All Permission Slips, Authorization to Administer Medication Forms, Behavior Contracts and Donations are due by March 29th!
If your child will be required to take any medication, including over the counter medication, e.g., Tylenol, you must have a doctor fill out the Authorization to Administer Medication form. Please continue to send in your $250.00 donations. The donations per student include transportation, food, lodging, supplies and hired staff at Silver Spur. If we do not reach our goals, we will need to cancel outdoor education.
Let's make this happen!
