Blue Man Group Trip
Blue Man Group Trip
On February 1 we will be going to see the Blue Man Group at Midland Center for the Arts.
Ticket money and forms are due Monday, January 12.
BoosterHub funds from our fall fundraiser can be used to pay for their ticket. Go into BoosterHub and go to Check Request.
I am still working on details for the meal we will be having and that cost. That information will come out as soon as I have it and I do not want this cost to exceed $15.
If you want to join along in the fun and help us have a great trip please sign up to chaperone on the form. Ideally, I would like to have at least 5 chaperones and hopefully more.
