Hello parents and hello winter!  As much as it’s inconvenient to drive in, I must say that love seeing the freshly fallen snow cover the landscape and the excitement it brings to our students!  That being said, remind your child to come prepared for the colder weather by bringing their boots, snow pants, hats, gloves etc!
