Dressing for Outdoor Play
Please remember that the children play outside most days, even if only for a few minutes. Children should dress appropriately - including hats, mittens, snow pants and boots during the winter months. You can leave extra warm clothing at school. Label everything and put it in their lockers. Remember, there is no bad weather, only bad clothing!
Materials Center
We welcome your donations to our Materials Center. You can drop them off in the box located in the main lobby next to Adrienne’s office. Currently, we need the following: Ribbons, bottle caps, buttons, rubber bands, envelopes, stationary, packing materials and netting from produce.
