Two messages to pass along this Tuesday:

First off, I handed out the student picture order forms today. Make sure that you admire your son's/daughter's smiling face to determine which picture you want to order. Secondly, our class (and Mr. Schendels) is planning on taking a field trip to Melville on Friday, Oct. 17. We will be attending the "Secrets of the Underground Railroad" exhibition for the entire a.m.. I sent home a newsletter today with details about this field trip...
