We will be going on a field trip to see a play on Monday, October 21.  The play is entitled, “Professor McBumble’s Fabulous Fairy-Tale Follies Revue – The Bully Show!” and will be performed at Lewis University in Romeoville. The bus will leave at approximately 9:30 and will return by 11:50.  The children will still be able to order a hot lunch for that day if desired.
