We hope you had a wonderful and restful Thanksgiving vacation! Please remember with the colder weather, students need to have an extra pair of shoes to wear in the classroom. Also, packing an extra pair of socks is helpful. Many students do not have an extra pair of PE shoes at school, please be sure to have a pair at school or to pack shoes in your child’s backpack on PE days.
