Hats, Mittens, Scarves, Snow Pants, etc.
As cold weather arrives, please send your child to school with warm clothing. Students go out for recess all winter long, as long as the playground is clear of snow and ice. Please label all of your child's winter items with his/her name. Just about every 2nd grader has a pair of black snow pants and it doesn't take very long for them to get mixed up. We want to be sure that your child goes home with the same items he/she brought to school...so please label everything. :)
