Winter Weather/Recess
With winter weather and cold temperatures upon us, please make sure to send in your child with appropriate outside apparel. We go out to recess as long as the temperature is above 20 degrees. If there is snow on the ground, we still go out and for students to play in the snow they must have boots and other snow gear.
