A TRIP TO SEE THE MOVIE
Saturday, Nov. 2nd I will be going to see the movie in either St. Joe at the
Hollywood Theater or at Barry Woods 24 on Barry Road near Zona Rosa
Plaza. It will depend on the movie times. I would like to go to a matinee
around 4:00 PM.
I will be able to take four students. There are two other teachers who
might go and they would each be able to take four students. THIS IS
NOT AFFILIATED WITH THE USD-409 SCHOOL SYSTEM. It is
something we are doing on our own. If you would like to go and take your
child that would be great! Please let me know if you can take other
children, too.
