Field Trip-Lady Bears Basketball Game
Kindergarten through 5th grade will be attending a Lady Bears Basketball game on Wednesday, December 12th. They will leave campus at 9:45 am and return by the end of the school day (3:25 pm.) They will eat a sack lunch in their seats at the Ferrell Center.
Guest will be allowed to attend the game. Tickets can be purchased at the box office upon arrival, but those seats will probably not be close the where the students will be seated. Seating assignments for the school have not been released yet, so we don’t know where we will be located.
