We're Going to the ROM!

On Thursday June 12^th, the five kindergarten classes will be going to the Royal Ontario Museum downtown to explore various exhibits, participate in a fun and interactive journey into the past to meet extinct animals from the Ice Ages to the Age of the Dinosaurs, and take part in an exciting workshop about our Prehistoric Pals.

Your signature granting permission is needed, along with the $11.00 trip fee by Monday May 26th. Please place the signed permission form, emergency contact numbers, and cash in a sealed envelope or Zip-Lock bag.

A small number of adult volunteers will be needed to supervise groups of children. If you would like to volunteer, please complete the relevant section of the permission form. Volunteers will be selected on a first come- first served basis- if you have been selected, your child’s teacher will contact you a few days before the day of the trip. Teachers may not contact everyone who volunteers as the museum and Board busses can only accommodate a specified number of people.
