We hope everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing Winter Break! Students and staff were full of smiles as they returned to school to see their friends and kick off a great 2019!

Here are a few updates and reminders:

• Please be sure that your child has appropriate clothing for going outside everyday. This includes boots, hats, mittens or gloves and and snow pants. Students go outside for recess everyday unless the air temperature falls below zero.

• Read A Thon envelopes are almost due! We hope students were able to read over Winter Break and collect donations for our PTO fundraiser. Students will earn prizes and all money collected will go directly back into the school. Please send all envelopes in by Monday, Jan 7th
