GOING TO THE WOLVES - PARENTS

We will begin reading Never Cry Wolf tomorrow. When we have finished the novel we go to the California Wolf Center in Julian and see wolves up close and personal. We will need chaperone/drivers for this trip. If you are interested in helping, please, contact me as soon as possible. The school district requires proof of insurance and all sorts of paperwork before they will allow transportation in private vehicles. The date for this trip is January 28. We leave Holtville around 10:30 in the morning and return about 5:00 in the evening. Thanks for your help. - Deborah
