Dear Parents,

Final amount due: December 5, 2008

OUTDOOR EDUCATION

Arrowhead Ranch Conference Center, Arrowhead Ranch Outdoor Science School 480 Cottage Grove, PO Box 123 Lake Arrowhead, California 92352 www.arrowheadkidscamp.com,  December 15-19, 2008. Students have the opportunity to experience natural science in an outdoor laboratory setting through this overnight program. This program is aligned with the State’s Standards for 5^th grade Science. It is a wonderful educational and growth experience for every child.  If your child is unable to attend, due to illness, you will receive a refund. If your child becomes ill at camp, you must pick up your child, and you will receive partial refund, based on the Camp’s prorate policy. 

MEMORY/YEARBOOK

Each child will receive a 5^th grade memory/yearbook and will include highlights from camp, a special letter from their teacher, individual pictures and a message from the principal. As you take pictures throughout the year, please share all of your photos with the yearbook committee. Volunteers from each class will ensure equal representation of each child. This book will be distributed during the last week of school.  Please start putting all of your photos from past years on a disc in JPG format this summer.

If you have any questions or would like to volunteer, please give one of the 5^th Grade Chairpersons a call:  Michelle McNeill (596-2425 mnmmcneill@yahoo.com), Kim Sheldon (375-4275 kimsheldon@lycos.com)
