High Desert Museum Field Trip, Jan 2<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019d like to kick off our new year with a trip to the High Desert Museum!  We will take our entire Village to the museum!  It is important to get permission slips signed and returned BEFORE winter break<\/strong>.  Permission slips went home Friday.  Find it here if you haven\u2019t seen it yet: Centers\/Elders<\/a> Youngers\/Olders<\/a>  Cost is $8 or what you can afford.  You can pay with cash or check in the office or with the Friends Paypal Link<\/a>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your student will not be here on that day, please let us know.  
If you\u2019d like to volunteer, please indicate that on the permission slip.  Remember that all volunteers MUST be approved through the district prior to the trip.  Visit this page<\/a> if you are interested in becoming a volunteer.  Applications usually take about a week to process, but could take longer over the holidays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lost and Found will be Donated over Break<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Please, please come take a look! We want you to have your things back! Any items that are not claimed by 4:00pm on December 15th will be donated. Lost and Found is located in the front office lobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
