I hope you and your family enjoyed the snow
day on Friday! The kids were super
excited when the snow began to fall at school on Thursday! The last few days of February are upon us and
it sounds like they are going to be wet days.
Slip some dry clothes in those backpacks if you haven’t already done so
in case we are able to get outside and play.
And thanks to all that have already
done so and to those that are sending in notes / emails when your child is out
of school.
