Dear Parent/Guardian:

We have planned a Fourth Grade trip to The Bronx Zoo, Tuesday, June 2, 2015 and invite all Fourth Graders to attend. The PTA has provided funds to reduce the price of this trip. The cost will be $24.00 per child. To pay for this trip, go to the Woodbrook Website main page, Then enter your child’s first & last name, and your child’s teacher’s name. Then, select your child’s grade and trip, then click on the paypal add to cart button to pay. You do not need a paypal account to pay, you can also pay by a credit card. DO NOT send money to the school to pay for the trip. Chaperones will pay separately, Not online. The cost for a chaperone is $27.00. If you are chosen as a chaperone, payment will be made in cash and sent to Woodbrook School. You may send in money on the day of the trip for the gift shop. Please place permission slip, liability form and health form in an envelope with your child’s name, teacher’s name and homeroom by Friday, May 1, 2015.
