Reminders:

·        Please arrive at school ready to go outside. If the temperature allows it, we will continue to go outside each morning. Students are asked to dress for the winter weather, coat, ski pants, boots, hat and mittens/gloves.

·        Please do not send toys to school, this includes elves. Students are very excited about their holiday visitors, but the school has had issues with lost elves and elves losing their magic. It would be best, if our elves stayed at home.
