Field Trips:
We are going to see a play based on several books about Junie B. Jones. The play is on October 20th at Meymandi Concert Hall in Raleigh. We are leaving at 9:30 and returning by 11:15. Teachers will send home a student permission slip. Pay for your child's ticket online or by cash or check (payable to Olds). Limited parent tickets are available; please contact your child's teacher if you are interesting in joining us. You will need to meet us at the hall because there probably isn't room on the bus. You must be a registered and approved volunteer to attend the play. Parents, please order your tickets at 1800-272-8874. Hi-Tech High Touch comes to Olds for some in-house field trips.
