Headlines 2/27

Happy Monday! We have a busy week ahead and a lot to look forward to. I have had a lot of questions about the forecast for tomorrow's field trip. The last forecast I saw is giving a 30% of rain tomorrow.  The Renaissance Faire is a rain or shine event, so I suggest bringing a rain jacket, and umbrella just in case it does rain. 

Have a wonderful week!
