Winter Gear Reminder
As we approach the winter season, please ensure your child is equipped with appropriate winter attire. We will have outdoor activities even in snowy conditions, provided the real feel temperature exceeds 10 degrees. It is advisable to send your child with layered winter clothing and gear as a precaution. Kindly label all winter garments with your child's name to facilitate the return of any misplaced items to the correct student.
