[GTA8 FAMILIES, FRET NOT!]

[GTA8 T-SHIRTS WILL BE PASSED OUT WELL PRIOR TO THE 1ST

GTA8 OFF CAMPUS FIELD EXPERIENCE.]

Led by their GTA6 Science teachers, Ms. Fox and Ms. Blackmon, GTA6 students got down to the fundamentals of everything...the ELEMENTS with their electrifying self-designed t-shirts!

Many student have turned in their permission slips to Ms. Maly, but not all have. Please check with your child to ensure that he/she has turned it in. If there is any doubt, please complete and submit the permission slip posted below to Ms. Maly. We'd rather have it twice than have to take time calling or emailing you to get it next week. It can also be emailed to her or Mr. Bernhart.
