Missing: Ava, Jonah, Marcus, Lily, Theo, Sofia, Ben.\n- Forms and fee due: Monday, Dec 1.\n- Fee: was $15 on the first flyer. PTA covered part of the bus, so the fee is now $12. Families who already paid $15 get $3 back in their child's folder.\n- Fee can be paid in cash in an envelope or on SchoolPay. If cost is a problem, families can email me privately and it's covered.\n- Lunch: pack a disposable lunch (no glass, nothing that needs a fridge). The museum has no cafeteria.\n- Bus leaves 8:15 am, back by 2:30 pm.\n- Wear the green class T-shirt.\n- Chaperones: we have 4, need 5.
