Nurse Notes
Be sure to send boots, coats and cold weather items every day.
East Cubs go outside for recess no matter the weather, so help them be prepared.
(We will stay indoors if it is extremely cold/icy/windy.)
On that note...
The nurse's office could use donations of gently used (or new) gloves,
stretchy pants like sweats and leggings in K-3rd grade sizes.
Donations can be dropped off in the front office.
Thank you!
