Upcoming Field Trip & Public Free Days @ FAC

Parents
Please note the info below for your own free fieldtrip on 3/17. I will get some fieldtrip happenings, but on 3/17 I have to do CSAPs in the am and in the pm we have the young cottage class (and anyone else who wants to go) going to a play at the High School Aud. Please consider this opportunity that morning if it fits your schedule---good deal!!! I will try to get us in there at sometime as a group.

I am struggling with transportation regulations and I am planning on our fieldtrip bus money to go to a big trip to Denver in May.

Keep the ideas coming. I love the walking ideas right now!
