Outdoor vs. Indoor Recess
As winter is arriving, please be mindful of our indoor recess policy. Please send your child with appropriate clothing to go outside for recess. It also would be greatly appreciated if caregivers would practice putting on coats, snow pants, and boots on at home to help students enjoy their full recess time. Students will be going outside unless the temperature is below 20 degrees and/or the wind chill is below 10 degree.

Wicked CLE. Tuesday, January 10th / 7:00 p.m.
Award-winning true crime author Jane Turzillo brings together the strippers, gangsters, robbers, shady politicians and more from Cleveland’s to rough and rowdy past. From world-class museums and popular sports teams to peaceful parks and charming neighborhoods, Cleveland has a lot to offer. But it has a wilder, darker side. Along the one-block passageway called Short Vincent, tourists and celebrities mixed with bookies and mobsters for drinks and dinner, underworld gossip and all kinds of “entertainment.” In 1969, Ted Conrad disappeared with $215,000 in stolen cash. An obituary more than fifty years later finally told the authorities where he went. In the wee hours of March 24, 1970, someone slipped up to the front of the Cleveland Museum of Art and planted a bomb on the marble pedestal that supported Rodin’s The Thinker. Who and why remain unknown.
