Good morning Husky families!

Whether or not Punxsutawney Phil (or any other groundhog) saw his shadow, today we sure hope to get a break from this cold winter weather soon! Luckily, there's plenty going on INSIDE where it's warm. Take a look:

• We're taking it back to the 90s! Purchase your tickets to the Adult Social and get together with other Spring Brook parents the evening of February 21 for live music, an exciting silent auction, a wine pull, and more. Be sure to come dressed to the 9(0s)! Tickets are discounted through 2/13.
