Spring Mill Trip Reminder Notes

Thursday, April 24th, is our trip to Spring Mill from 10 to 2. Please let us know if you can drive and help us. Everyone needs to bring a sack lunch and 2 cans of pop or juice. We do not go to the souvenir stand. Please send lunches in a sack instead of a lunch box. That way we can just throw it away and not have to worry about keeping track of them. Also, please bring a jacket and don’t wear sandals that day. Thanks.
