The team will be announced on Wednesday afternoon, and the first practice will be at 8:00AM on Thursday, January 13th in Mrs. Carlson's room. Please see Mrs. Carlson or Mr. Emory if you have any questions.
Winter Weather Reminders
Please be sure to dress your child appropriately for the weather. Also, be sure to label all of their winter clothing items as this is a time of year when items get shuffled around and misplaced. It's also a good idea to pack an extra pair of socks and gloves in their backpacks in case they get wet at recess.
