The note from Danny’s teacher, the one he’d brought home with such excitement in his eyes and anticipation on his small, freckled features, lay on the table. The second-grade class at Wilder Elementary will be taking a field trip to the History Museum on Wednesday. The cost is five dollars per student. This includes entrance fees, lunch and one snack during the visit to the museum. Please send cash with your student and put his or her name on the envelope.Thanks in advance, parents. We plan to have a marvelous day!Mrs. Boswell A sick feeling had settled in Hannah’s gut as she looked once again for nonexistent money in her purse. She’d dropped the bag to the table and turned toward her living room furniture.
