*WED, May 30th: Our 6^th graders will be going to the Lewis & Clark Caverns. I will be with them on this day. They will have a sub. The Caverns called us about road delays due to construction. The students will need to be here at 7:15 for departure @ 7:30. This is a change from the note!!  I also need at least one parent volunteer to go with us. However, you cannot ride the bus. You would need to drive yourself (or ride with other Poly moms). Let me know if your interested, and I can help arrange “car pooling”.
