It’s hard to believe that we are quickly approaching the end of January. While it is evident that student learning, engagement, and safety continue to be our main priorities, we are still making sure to have fun along the way. With our Science Fair next week, all families are encouraged to stop by Country Meadows to see the projects from 5:30pm-7:00pm on January 25th.
Kindly,
Michelle

Reminder *Recess During the Winter*
For students to play in the snow, they must have snow pants, boots, gloves and jacket. This ensures that their clothes, hands and feet are dry for lunch and the remainder of the afternoon. Students who do not have snow pants and boots can still play on the blacktop. Labeling all winter gear will help return any lost items!
