Camp Information

Here are a few reminders about 6th Grade Camp:

1. Camp dates are Monday, November 7 through Wednesday, November 9.  Our goal is that every 6th grade student goes to camp.  If you are aware of an issue that would keep your child from going to camp, please let me know ASAP.
2. Coffee fundraiser forms are due this Friday, September 23.  This is a great way to lower the cost of camp.  For every bag of coffee sold, the student will receive $3 off from their camp fee.
3. We are still in need of many chaperones for camp (especially dads).  We have several moms signed up, but we do not have any dads signed up.  In my opinion, 6th Grade Camp is the best three days in the middle school.  Time with your kid, a way to get to know their friends better, exploring in the woods, watching your child accomplish things that they did not know they could, are just a few of the benefits.
