An Important Reminder:

Warmer weather means it's time to think about Sun Safety!  As we do spend time outside every class day, please remember to send your child prepared.... not just for heat and sun.... but also don't forget about UV rays that can be harmful even on overcast days.  Wide brimmed hats, sunscreen, water bottles all help to keep skin safe and little bodies cool!

Please refer to information sheets posted outside classrooms for more details!
