There's a Chill in the Air...Bundle Up!
As we brace ourse
lves for the deep freeze of winter, please remember that students
have
outdoor recess
every day the temperature is above 15°, including wind chill.
Please remind your children that they
must have snow
pants and boots
in order to play in the snow.
Being prepared to brave the elements will make recess so much more enjoyable these cold winter months!

With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility!
I miss the days when the holiday gifts I purchased for my children came in big boxes that were a source of play in themselves, no need for batteries or assembly, nor fear of breakage (except from child number 4!).
