Please be sure your student has a jacket or coat at school! Our recess is at 10:10 and it has NOT reached the high temperature at that point in the day! Some mornings it feels like 40 degrees or less!
Congrats to Mrs. Backes and the 5th graders. The 5th grade play was great and so much fun to watch!!
