READ IT TO BEAT IT CHALLENGE

At the beginning of the school year we sent home a sheet listing each field trip we would attend this year.  We now have one more.  Just recently our school was given the opportunity to attend the Read it to Beat it, Guiness World Record Challenge.  In conjunction with Winterfest, the United Way, the Brewers Foundation, and Half Priced Books are attempting to break the world's record for the largest group read alound. 

Ryan Grant, Craig Counsell, and Tom Barrett will be reading to an assembled crowd of over 5,000 children which will break the world's record and enter us all into the Guiness Book of World Records.  In addition to the read aloud, there will be presesentations by the Milwaukee County Zoo, Schlitz Audubon Center, the Milwaukee Bucks Energy Dancers, and WMYX. 

The fee for this trip is $1.50.  Permission slips and payment is due next Wednesday, December 7.  Chaperons are free. We are limiting this trip to one chaperone per classroom.  Priority will be given to those that return the slips first and to parents unable to attend the other trips.
