Recess

As the cold weather has arrived, please send your child with a heavy coat, hat, and mittens. Weather permitting they will be going out for recess as much as possible. If the temperature is 20 degrees or colder (with the wind chill), we will be having indoor recess. Make sure all items have your child's name on them!!
