Thanks to everyone for these field trip questions! 1. Do chaperones pay for the field trip also? Sadly, yes...sorry. 2. Is there a fee for the background check? The background check will require that you provide your driver's license number. There is not a fee for this. 3. Would the kids and adults be sleeping under the rockets? YES! We all sleep under rockets-such a fun experience! If you would like to volunteer by selling tickets for the Spaghetti Dinner during lunch, please fill out the attached Volunteer Application and forward it to Ms. Mosley. Cobb students and staff were pinked out today as we raised over $1500 to go toward the battle against breast cancer! Go Team Cobb!!! Lastly-if you would like to network with other Magnet parents for carpooling, volunteering, etc. Rebecca Berentsen has volunteered to organize those efforts. You may contact her at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> . Have a great weekend-really!

And speaking of field trips- We are ready to begin preparations for the 6th and 7th grade field trips. Please review the attached letter as appropriate for your child. Each letter gives a time line for fees. Know that you may pay earlier than the designated time and you may pay in full for the first payment if you would like! If you would like to receive confirmation of payment in a Christmas card, that can be arranged too! The 6th grade overnight adventure will be to Kennedy Space Center. The 7th grade overnight adventure will be to SeaWorld. The students always enjoy these field trips and come back bubbling with new knowledge! Don't forget-report cards go home November 2nd. We are very proud of our students as they continue to excel! Have a safe, family-fun-filled, LONG weekend! (Okay, it is only Thursday...but it needed to be said!) :) By the way-all of these attachments may be found on the Magnet webpage.
