One of the goals of the iDREAM program is to provide engaging opportunities for students to experience the arts. We have had great parent support over the last couple of years, making some field trips possible. With your continued support, we would like to consider the following possible field trips for the 2015-2016 school year. We welcome your thoughts and suggestions regarding additional field trip opportunities, as well as fund-raising ideas. We are hoping to have a parent volunteer to be our iExplore Field Trip Coordinator.
