Cold Weather Gear
The goal is to have students go outside for recess each day. As long as the real feel temperature is 15 degrees or above, we will be going outside. Please make sure that your student has the appropriate outdoor gear to support their comfort while outside.
From the Library
The Haunted Library will be making a return appearance to the Workman Library on your child's library day, 10/18-10/25! The Library Witch (aka Mrs. Johnston) reads (slightly) spooky, fun stories to celebrate the season in the Haunted Library. Many students have been asking since the first week of school when the Haunted Library would return but if your child is at all uncomfortable or you would rather your child not participate for any reason, please let me know and they can participate in an alternate activity during library that week. Can't wait to share some good BOOOOO-ks! Mrs. Johnston (julie.johnston@pccsk12.com)
Take Home Program
