Important info:<br />

With the weather changing, it is very important that students<br />

have a pair of indoor shoes that are kept at school. They can also<br />

use these shoes for Gym. It is also important that each student<br />

has a change of clothes in case it is needed. Please label these<br />

clothes.<br />

As the winter has arrived, please ensure your child comes to<br />

school daily with a hat, mittens <strong>and</strong> warm winter boots.<br />

As always, tissue boxes are appreciated, especially as cold <strong>and</strong> flu<br />

season is upon us!<br />

Thank you for all your support!——Mrs. Briscoe<br />
