We have a field trip to Regal Corn Maze on October 29,, 2015. I will not be at school
that day, Mrs. Triscari will be my sub. I am going to California with my son to look at
colleges. Michael is a senior. We booked our tickets before the field trip was scheduled. I
am in need of some parent volunteers. If you are interested please email me because you
