Principal's Message
Dear Musson Community,
Brrr...It was a cold but happy week! One of our classes so appropriately demonstrated "smiling eyes" for me to share their joy. I see those smiling eyes each day when students arrive. They are happy!
A reminder that we do go outside for recess if the real feel is above 0 (considering windchill). Please send boots, snow pants, hats, gloves, coats, etc. DAILY.
Thank you for your partnership,
Ms. Laura Walsh
Principal, Musson Elementary

Maverick the Mustang!
