Outdoor Ed!

Hey Everyone! 

 It’s almost time for Outdoor Ed!!  This year we will be staying 2 nights and 3 days at camp IDRAHJE. Students will get to participate in team building activities, learn outdoor skills, and work on communicating with others. 

  

We will leave Monday, Aug. 29th and return to school Wednesday, Aug. 31st. This means you have until Aug. 15th to sign up! It will cost $150 per student. (If you would like your child to attend but cannot afford the full amount please email your child’s Advocacy teacher. Very limited financial assistance may be available.) You may pay the fee online in the school store or drop off check or cash to the locked drop box in the school lobby.
