We have been VERY lucky for the mild autumn weather. Winter is now upon us! Please remember we go outside twice a day, for 30 minutes each. Your child should have snow pants for an extra layer of warmth. Please send waterproof snow gloves as well. The thin, knit mitten/gloves are cheap and convenient but they do not keep the children warm. Be sure to put your child's name or initials on EVERY item. Once the children start taking items off in the hallway there are gloves, hats and boots all over the hallway!

Theme Thursday: Plaid

You will call our program cellphone or ring our doorbell to notify staff you have arrived. If you are within the normal office hours, you will be buzzed in by office staff.

This program, sponsored by the Community Foundation of Greater Rochester, is active in Royal Oak Schools.
