I hope everyone has a warm and safe weekend.  It got very cold quite quickly- please make sure your child comes to school in a winter coat, gloves, hat, scarf, etc.  A fleece or sweatshirt is not a coat.  The children go outside daily and many of them tell me every day how cold they are.  Please make sure you are dressing them appropriately for the weather.
