Now that we have a substantial amount of snow, students will be snowshoeing as part of their Physical Education classes. Students are required to wear winter boots, winter coat, ski pants, a hat and mittens when snowshoeing and classes are about 1 hour in length. Students that come to school unprepared will not be allowed to snowshoe with their class. If your child has their own snowshoes they may bring them to school, but we do not allow poles.

all lunch boxes, thermal bags, plastic utensils and containers in hot
soapy water. DO NOT re-use plastic wrapping and bags.

pack or frozen juice pack when sending lunches to school.
