Hello and Happy New Year,

Great News - At the monthly Chinook's Edge School Board meeting last week, the School Board officially approved the trip to Peru. We can now continue with our registrations and planning.

The next 6 months should look like the following:

1. By the 25th of February everyone on our initial list will have an opportunity to sign up. I will contact anyone who hasn't signed up yet and remind them that they need to make a decision on whether to go or not.

2. On the 25th of February we have scheduled a meeting (7:30 PM in the library) to finish signing up travelers, discuss optional excursions, and outline the year of planning ahead.

3. After the 25th of February we will let anyone on the waiting list sign up for the remainder of the spots available.

4. We will try and have all registrations completed by the end of March.

5. In early April we will have a meeting to decide on optional excursions.

That should take us to the end of the school year. Other trip planning, completion of forms, and information sharing will happen over the course of the 2010-2011 school year.

Looking forward to seeing everyone on February 25th.

Mark Leggette and Leanne Jacobson
