Reminders

Dress for the Weather

Please make sure that your child is dressing appropriately

for the weather; we will be going outside twice a day. It

can still be cold in the beginning of spring so we

recommend leaving a heavier coat in your child’s cubby in

case it may be needed. All items from home should also be

labeled with your child’s first and last name!
