    Hello, Hailey should have handed you the paperwork and $27 check for the field trip chaperone, yesterday. My vehicle can hold up to 7 and if needed, I am available to drive other parents and kids, if transportation is an issue. Whatever helps you the most. Oh, I have many years of chaperoning experience - if you need any extra help. Thank you for the opportunity to go with Hailey on her field trip. ~ Christine Cornejo
