Bur-r-r!!! It is getting cold. Please make sure your child is bringing a coat, hat, scarf, and gloves to keep themselves warm during outside recess. Boys should not be wearing shorts and girls need to be wearing pants or have leggings if they are wearing a skirt. If your child does not have a coat and it is cold outside, they will not be going outside for recess with us. We will send them to the office with a book.
