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!
The Third
Grade Team
