Monthly Overview and Reminders
Skyranch final payment
Skyranch final payment
All of our fundraisers have ended and we have secured our invoices for camp, shirts and transportation, so we have calculated the final camp cost!
The final camp payment for both chaperones and students will be $235 (if deposit has been made). Total cost: $310 per child - $75 deposit = $235
If you have not yet paid your chaperone or your student's deposit (most families have), please send a payment for the full $310.
If you paid more money through the payment plan subtract that from $310 and that will be your final payment. You can send cash or check made payable to Savannah Elementary by Thursday, February 20th. Unfortunately this is a hard deadline as we must pay for camp, buses and shirts.
Thank you for your patience while we finished calculating the costs and booking our charter buses. Please direct any questions about this payment to your homeroom teacher. We are so excited!
Sincere thanks,
The Fifth Grade Team 😊
