Weatherbee Weekly
November 18th, 2022
Hello Cold Weather!
Snow Gear
It's that time of year when we ask that students come with layers to mitigate the colder weather. To set students up for success, we ask that all students have a hat, mittens/gloves, jacket, snow pants and boots. Should you need resources, please don't hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Erickson (merickson@rsu22.us) or Mrs. O'Neil (aoneil@rsu22.us).
