Hello Parents and Friends,

The time has arrived! We are departing tomorrow morning from the school at 7:45 a.m. sharp for our much anticipated O'Neill Sea Odyssey trip. Please have your child here by 7:30 to avoid any delays. We will have to leave the school on time to get to our destination at the harbor, park and meet our instructor downstairs at the west end of the building on the Plaza sidewalk across from the parking lot and the Crow's Nest Restaurant. I will give all drivers their maps and student forms in the morning here at the school.

Arrival/Departure: We must arrive no later than 8:15. Late arrivals result in an abbreviated program. We will wrap up at 11:30 and head back to school for recess and lunch.
