Recess Reminder
Please be sure to send in hats, gloves, and warm
winter coats! We try to play outside as often as
possible (weather and temperature permitting). If
the playground is covered in snow, we will not be
able to go outside unless the blacktop/basketball
courts are clear. Since we do not play in the snow
during recess, snow boots and snow pants are not
necessary.
