Hello Creekside Families,
Please remember to send in the permission slip and $ for the Thursday, Dec. 6th field trip as soon as we return from Fall Break. The permission slip was attached to the homework packets sent home last Tuesday. The permission slips and $ must be turned in by November 28th at the latest in order for the office to process our check for the event. We will be heading to Truckee High School again for another Arts for the School presentation, this time we will see the Ririe Dance group. We will leave our campus about 9:30 and return before 12. We do need drivers/chaperones for our trip. Please email me after Fall Break if you are able to help us out. So far we have transportation for 3 of our 18 students. Thank you! I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Jenny Hello Creekside Families,
