Hello Layne Families,

As you all are aware, our field trip had to be rescheduled due to the recent snow that we got. We have gotten a reschedule date and permission slips should have come home today. We are going to be attending the same show at Stage One (The Best Christmas Pageant Ever).

We are asking that if you plan for your child to attend that you return your permission slips on Monday 12/8, so we can plan for the number of lunches and can plan for how many students are not attending.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding,
Layne Elementary

Attention Layne 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Families,

We have spoken with Kona Ice and they have agreed to rescheduling to tomorrow, which is Tuesday 11/25.

Only 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be participating since this is a reschedule for the technical difficulties they were experiencing on Friday and resulted in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades not being able to participate. It will be $5 just like always.

Thank you,
Layne Elementary
