Good Morning,
  It is that time of year again.  On Wednesday, January 25th, our class will be going to the Flynn to see a performance of "Duck For President."  Once again the PTA will be paying for a large portion of the trip.  However, we are still asking that each child bring in $3 to help cover the rest of the costs.  Please send it in by the end of the week.  All checks should be made out to Waitsfield Elementary School.  Although this performance was not our top choice, I feel it will still be a great experience for the kids. Below is a brief outline.  Peace -Tom
