2007-2008 CHSA Field Trips

 

We’re excited about a new year!  Are you looking to do some fun and educational field trips in the area? 

Well we've been busy planning some and hope you can join up with other families in CHSA for a field trip or

two (or ten!J).

 

Please remember, it’s important to have an accurate count of attendees for every field trip (paid or free).  We,

as a group, want to have a good reputation in all the places we go.  So, please be sure to sign up or cancel

with the appropriate field trip coordinator by the deadline/payment date. 

 

Please make all checks out to “Jan Sorrell” for field trips.  (All payments are due by the deadline date.)
