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
