Rice University Field Trip

Attention Parents!

We are planning a field trip for 6C to Rice University on Friday April 13th.  We are in need of about 5 parent volunteers to help us chaperone.  We will meet at school at 8:30 am, and return by 2:30 pm.  As the timeline for this trip is so short, we need parents who have ALREADY been approved by HISD’s background check.  Please contact Ms. Hines if you are able to help.  Thanks!
