Nature Trails Shirt Order

This year 5th grade is privileged to get to visit Nature Trails in the month of January. To make sure we have them in time, we are ordering Nature Trails T-shirts now. Your child has been given an order form that needs to be filled out and brought back to Mrs. Knight by Friday, October 28 (money included). Each shirt is $10 and checks can be made payable to Gleason Elementary. Remember, if you don't know which size to order, always choose the larger size. It is better for the shirt to be too big than too small :)
