If you are interested in the Fall 2026 D.C. trip, but you were unable to attend the meeting on 9-16-25, here's some info! Have your student stop by Miss Friermood's classroom to pick up a paper, or see the attached image. Those who attended the parent/guardian meeting or messaged prior to the meeting receive $50 off their trip price! This will be credited after initial payments are established as they go through the registration list check-in. Additionally, those who register by 9-23-25 receive an early registration discount!
Here are some of the highlights:
🍧 Kona Ice rolled in during JH/HS lunch to help us cool down with a sweet treat!
