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!

Wacky Winterfest is coming! Please mark your calendars for Saturday, February 16th from 11 AM to 2 PM for this family fun event! If you would like to help by donating time or items, please contact Mr. Bryant! Also, please remember all are welcome at our PALS meetings.
