 S now Pants and Shoes Please make sure your child has snow pants if they intend on rolling around in the snow and shoes everyday for school. We don't like to wear our wet boots into the classroom since we sit on the floor sometimes and we don't want the floor to be wet. Also, there are fun snow hills that the kids really want to play on and they can't if they don't have snow pants to keep their regular pants dry. Please let me know if your child needs some snow pants  or  any other winter gear. We have some extra things here at school they can use.  Upcoming Dates: Feb. 8- High School for Band, Orchestra, and Choir concert 9:30-11 Feb. 18 - No School - Midwinter Break Feb. 21 - No School for President's Day February 8  the kids will go to the high school to listen to all of the instruments of band and orchestra as well as hear the choir sing.  This concert is in preparation for their potential musical path in 6th grade.
