Winter Clothing: Our goal is to have our students outside as much as possible. If the temperature is above zero (actual or with wind chill), we will be enjoying the winter weather! Please make sure children are dressed appropriately for the weather. When there is snow on the ground, students will need snow pants and boots. If you need assistance with winter gear, please contact the office at 553.2950 and we are happy to help!
