Earth Science Classes Need Parents To Go To The Museum On Tuesday, October 4th And/Or Wednesday, October 5th
Chaperones are needed for the Earth Science field trips to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science on Tuesday, October 4th and Wednesday October 5th. Mrs. Bobb, Mr. Hendler, and Mr. Schurger have requested that parents of the Earth Science students chaperone, but we haven't had enough volunteers to meet the "one-to-ten" ratio of adults to students that is required on field trips to the museum.
Without more volunteers, not all students will be able to attend the field trip.
Please respond to Margaret Bobb, margaret_bobb@dpsk12.org, if you are able to be a chaperone on TUESDAY or
Andrew Schurger, Andrew_Schurger@dpsk12.org, if you are able to be a chaperone on WEDNESDAY.
