IMPORTANT:  Ms. Elzinga is inviting you to an interactive Biology class where we will plant seeds, plant plants, and taste some edible plants from Mrs. Elzinga's garden.  This class will be in 2 weeks (on April 27th) and will be held in Mrs. Elzinga's garden which is  1.5 miles from Friday School.  Mrs. Elzinga can pick up and drop off from Friday School, with a signed form from parents.  

I will pick up students at Friday School at 1:00p.m. -  30 minutes earlier than our normal class, (for those who attend Art class until 1:30, Ms. Sarah has given permission for the students in her class to leave early), so that we have enough time to complete all of our plantings.  I will drive students back to Friday School by 3:00pm for normal pickup.     
No student may ride with Mrs. Elzinga without a signed consent form: 
Please print and have your parent sign this Consent and Release form.  Bring the Form to class on Friday, 4/20.

On April 27th (not this Friday), if your parents prefer they can  drop you off, and or pick up at my home:

103 Tamworth Drive 78213.  Drop off and pick up must be precise to allow Mrs. E to pick up other children.  Drop off:  1:10p.m. and pick up at 2:50 p.m.  Parents are welcome to stay and participate - just let me know.
