Please make an appointment with the front office to have your finger prints rolled.  We will be going on at least 4 other field trips, and I will need parent volunteers.  ALL adult volunteers MUST have their fingerprints rolled and sent off.  It takes about 4 weeks to clearance.
If you have any questions, please come and talk to me.
