Thank you to Ms. Langham for coming in yesterday to teach us how to play a math skills game called Batty Logic!

 We ask students to please bring an indoor pair and outdoor pair of shoes.  They will now need to change their shoes on the mats before going in and out of the school in order to keep our floors free of mud and snow.  Please also take a minute to check lost and found items on display in hallway by office.  Thank you.

See you tomorrow in your orange and black attire!

Scholastic Book Orders in!  Happy Reading! 

Winter Weather
Winter weather is now upon us!  We request that all students come prepared each day for snow and cold weather.  We have placed a boot rack by our outside door, for your child to place their boots.  It is helpful for all outdoor wear to be labeled, as often students share the same great taste in clothing, as well as size!  Students should have in-door shoes that can be left at school.  If your child likes to play in the snow, we ask that they bring snow pants to keep them warm and dry.  Please remind your child that even though it is warm and cosy inside, they must wear their winter jackets outside to promote good health.  We appreciate your support!

Have a great night!  Ms. P.
