Welcome to Physical Science 2009-2010! I will keep the previous and current week of work posted for those who have been absent.

In addition to science homework I will also be posting information about our annual spring trip to Washington, D.C.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

       I am planning our DC trip for June 2-4 this spring.  I hope that you will all want to participate.  We pack a lot into our three days.  The cost of the trip is still being held to $300 per person for the regular rate.  Reduced lunch students' fee is $200 and free lunch students' fee is $100.  This cost includes all meals except lunches.  We are having our annual chocolate sale now to give you an opportunity to raise funds.  Anything you sold in 6th and 7th grade is being held on your account for the trip.  If you have any questions, please call me at school.  The number here is 268-2262.  I am usually available to take calls after 2:00 pm.

Note:  Please turn in either the money or the chocolate you could not sell by Friday,  December 18.
