We had a meeting 2 weeks ago and a packet also went home with payment and camp information.  If you missed the meeting, you can watch the video that was shown by clicking the link at the bottom of this email.  We have also attached the forms in case you need them again.  If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the 5th grade teachers or any of the committee members. 

--FUNDRAISING EFFORTS: We are working hard to raise funds for all the fun 5th grade events, and to make sure everyone can be part of the camp experience.  The movie night, our first large event, was lots of fun and raised over $1,500.  Our first dine out at McDonald's raised over $800. 

Please participate in these upcoming events!

    

    Dine-Out Nights:  Thursday, 10/25 - California Pizza Kitchen on Brand Blvd., all day
