Any 8th graders who signed up to attend the visit day to the DeWitt Career Advancement Center need to check an email they received from Mrs. Kramer. This has all of the information you need for tomorrow's trip to DeWitt. Please pay close attention to which group number you were assigned to. This is the group you will be with for the bus ride and for the tours. We will meet in the cafeteria at 8:30am. Please wait for the announcement to go there. Everyone's best behavior is expected!
