The cost is $35.00 per child for all four programs.  You may choose to pay the full amount at once, or split your payment in two installments of $18.00 and $17.00.  You can pay online at http://osp.osmsinc.com/wakenc.Simply scroll down to find our school and click on the program. You may also pay by cash or make a check payable to Lake Myra Elementary Schoo1.

The first payment will be due by Friday September 13^th in preparation of our first program which will be September 19^th and 20^th.  Again, you can choose to pay the full $35.00 at this time or just $18.00 for now.  If you split your payment, the balance of $17.00 will be due by January 31^st.
