2017 8th Grade Whale Watch Field Trip 6/13


8th Grade Field Trip Planned for Tuesday, June 13

On Tuesday, June 13, our 8th Grade students from both teams, the Comets and the Apollos will have the chance to go on Captain John Whale Watching Tour out of Plymouth.

I am going to attach a "photo" of the permission slip (to print) as well as paste it here.  If your child never got it home (it happens), you can most certainly print it out or we have extra copies in the Main Office that you can make sure make there way home.

There is a cost to this Field Trip.  NMS PTA will be picking up the cost of bus transportation, but the tickets for the Whale Watch is $20.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Thank you.
