Planetarium Field Trip News


The third grade team is excited to tell you about our upcoming field trip on February 20th to The Morehead Planetarium and Science Center at Chapel Hill.  At the field trip the children will be seeing a show in The Planetarium and also participating in a fun and engaging workshop class.  This experience supports our third quarter science unit “Objects in the Sky”.  The cost of the trip to cover the show, class and also to pay for our busses is $13 per student.  Donations to help the students who financially cannot pay for the trip are greatly appreciated.  You will be getting a permission slip in tomrrow's Monday folder.  Please fill out both sides of the permission slip and send in your payment to your homeroom teacher by Thursday, February 13th.  Please make out all checks to “Douglas Elementary School”.  You may also pay online through OSP (Online School Payment).  You can access OSP directly online at the Douglas Elementary School website.
If you are interested in chaperoning, we would love to have you!  We are allowed to have two chaperones per class.  Please submit your name to your homeroom teacher by Friday, February 7th and your classroom teacher will do a drawing on this date to announce the chaperones.   To be a chaperone you must have a background clearance.  The discounted cost for chaperones is $6.00.  Due to parents not being allowed to ride Wake County busses, chaperones are required to drive separately and meet us at the Planetarium.  This is a wonderful volunteer experience! 

Thank you for your support!
