Dear Kindergator Parents,      I must apologize about for the confusing payment information on the Art Barn Field Trip form.  I didn't realize that my writing made it difficult to read the amount ($18.00 vs $8.00).  The correct amount for the trip is $18.00 per child .  I am truly sorry for any confusion and inconvenience this may have caused.      Thank you to all of the parents who have already sent in their payment.  It would be greatly appreciated, if we can have all permission slips and payments in my this Friday, August 31st.
