Winter Weather Reminders
As we move into the colder months, we want to remind everyone about the importance of dressing children appropriately for outdoor recess. To ensure that all students are comfortable and safe, please send your child to school with appropriate clothing for the weather, including:
- Coats/Jackets
- Hats
- Gloves/Mittens
- Scarves
- Boots (if the weather is snowy or wet)
- Layers to stay warm
We will be following the PA Child Care Weather Watch guidelines to determine whether it is safe for children to go outside for recess. These guidelines take into account factors such as temperature, wind chill, and other weather conditions.
Please be sure your child is dressed warmly enough to enjoy their time outside, as outdoor recess will be held unless the weather conditions suggest otherwise.

No donation is too small (or too large 😃) Your contribution will help us spread some well-deserved holiday joy to our school's all-stars.
