A field trip to the Crescent Bakery in Frankfort has been tentatively scheduled for the morning of Wednesday, January 21. Because of our inclement weather days, I was unable to get the transportation request before this newsletter publication. Please sign the permission slip on the reverse of this newsletter. If you are interested in joining us on the trip, there is room for two parents. The bakery is very small therefore, two parents will be sufficient. Please call me at 889- 9674 ext. 438 if you’d like to join us.
