May 24 is Hip trip day. Everyone will have their regular homeroom and first period. All students will come to the gym at 8:20. At 8:30 the busses will leave for Kings Island, Zoobezi Bay and Magic Mountain. Also at 8:30, the 7th grade maroon cards will leave to walk to southwest bowl.

Also, at 8:30 the 8th grade bowling chaperones(Green, Lavalley, Weinert, Woodruff) and 7th(Baum, Sasala, Stolly) and 8th(Lacy, Beard, Webb) grade  teachers supervising the stay backs will pick up their kids from the gym. Each chaperone group is responsible for their group all day except for stay backs and bowlers during their regular lunch period. You may work together as a group to plan activiites, seperate the kids and keep them the whole day or work out a schedule among yourselves to rotate them. It is up to your teacher chaperone group to decide and plan. One of the 7th and one of the 8th grade stay back supervisors will need to supervise lunch and eat during the other lunch time. Mrs. Warwick will also help with lunch supervision. Please see Mr. Stickel if you have any questions.
