Dear Parents – I know we promised only one fund raiser this year. But the notebooks did not do as well as we hoped. We hope this new fund raiser will help us fund our very needed and very pricey field trips. Hands on learning is so important, but we can’t do it alone. PLEASE, check out the new fundraiser and I will send home all the information today with your children. Stay safe, and THANK you again for supporting Quest!

xoxo,
Mrs. Young

Permission Slip


(Please fill out the form above to let me know you understand the information about the field trip and to give permission to your child.)

 On Tuesday, February 4th, the entire 5th grade will be going on a Field Trip to Salt Lake City.  We will be touring the State Capitol as well as the Clark Planetarium. We will be renting busses to provide our transportation.  Busses will be leaving the school promptly at 8:45am and returning to the school by 2:45pm. We will have lunch at the State Capitol, so each student will need to provide their own home lunch and a pack to carry it in.  

    To help cover the cost of the field trip, we are asking for a donation of $5 per student and chaperone who attends. The donations can be paid to either the Q1 or Q2 office.  For this field trip we are only able to take five chaperones per class. If you are available to attend as a chaperone please indicate below and I will take the first five adults who sign the form and pay the $5 donation.  Please bring your receipt to me to let me know you have paid.   

Thank you,
Mrs. Young
