As the winter chill continues, we've accumulated a growing collection of sweaters, jackets, hats, and gloves in our Lost and Found (located in the gym lobby). If your kiddos have misplaced any of these cozy essentials, we encourage you to drop by and take a peek. However, to ensure a smooth process, please make a quick stop at the front office to check in before heading to the Lost and Found. Alternatively, a friendly reminder to your child to check for their lost items could save a trip for you. Let's keep everyone warm and snug – come reclaim those missing layers!
