Winter Weather is here!
Please bundle up your children with coats, hats, snowpants, boots, and gloves. We will continue to go outside for recess during the winter months. An extra change of clothing (including socks) kept in your child's locker will be a warm opportunity to change into after a cold snowy recess. If you need any of these cold weather related items, please contact the school office at 330-825-5133.

The RED RIBBON WEEK campaign is a week when schools across the nation take a unified stance to commit to a drug-free lifestyle. This year’s Red Ribbon Week theme is LIFE IS A MOVIE, FILM DRUG FREE. During Red Ribbon Week, we focus on teaching students that the choices they make affect their bodies and their minds. We will be teaching the importance of making smart choices, encouraging healthy habits, and explaining to students what they put (and don’t put) in their bodies is important and why.
Please see the additional information from our Counselors Kate Weaver and Marly Taylor for at-home optional activities and the Winter Countdown themes.
