Please Wear Warm Clothes on Cold Days

It's that time of year when we have to plan for outdoor recess. Please remember to send in boots, hats, gloves, snow pants, and perhaps an extra dry set of pants and/or socks. We love to encourage outdoor play and if the weather is above zero, we take our adventures outside.


It's important for students to be ready for outdoor play. If students do not have the cold weather gear, they are asked to stay on the blacktop. If too many kids are on the blacktop, we may have to transition to indoor recess as a social distance safety precaution. Your help in this matter is very appreciated.
