5.  We took a school-wide vote before Thanksgiving.  8 th graders want to go to Carolina Theater to see a movie and have popcorn and drinks.  7 th graders voted to take a trip to Skateland.  These trips will probably take place during the first week in February.  There will be a charge for going on these field trips, but it probably won’t cost more than $5.
