Winter is Here!
Before and After February Newsletter
Whether it's cloudy, snowy, or sunny...
What a year it has been! We have built so many strong relationships, and we are so grateful for our families and students. Weather permitting (temp above 20*), we will be playing in the snow. All students need full snow gear to play in the snow and a dry change of shoes when they come back in.
Sneakers vs. Boots
We know boots are easy to slip on, but they are not gym friendly.
- Boots can increase the risk of injury
- They often carry dirt and rocks in the soles
- They limit mobility
- Together we can try to keep the floors dry and clean.
To help everyone move safely in the gym, please pack a pair of sneakers if boots are worn to school.
🧣 Saying Good-bye to our 4th Graders
-
As many of you noticed in your fall paperwork, we sadly must release our 4th graders from the program. While they are such a big part of your families—and ours—it brings us great joy to watch them soar. It truly does take a village to raise a family.
Most of these students have been with us since kindergarten, and we have watched them grow while learning so many great things along the way—lessons we hope they will take with them as they move on to middle school. Remember, in 8th grade, you can return to work in the program, something to look forward to!
Early Release Day- February 6, 2026
We will be open for currently enrolled students on this early release day.
- Clough students will enjoy rotations every half hour and playing outside with full winter gear.
- Memorial students will participate in Paint N Party—sounds like fun!
Please remember to pack lunch and plenty of snacks.
