Camp Forms:  Please turn in all camp forms ASAP.  The money will not be due until after the pancake breakfast on Sept. 28.  Please remember that if your child will need to bring ANY medication, whether it be OTC or prescription, it requires a doctor's note.  Even vitamins will require a doctor's note.  The camp cannot dispense any medication without a doctor's note on file.  Please do not wait until the last minute to obtain this.  Also, if your child has an inhaler, please get the note, and send it to camp with them.  Even if they do not need the inhaler often, they may need it at camp since it is a higher altitude and they will be hiking.  Please be on the safe side and plan ahead.  Also, we will need to know if any students have an epi-pen  It should be listed on the medication form as well.  Please also advise me or Mrs. Wennberg.
