Extra Clothing
As winter fades away and spring is on the way, you may wish to provide your child with extra clothing to have on hand at the school. Although we encourage all students to stay away from all bodies of water whether small or large, accidents do happen. Also if we send home students with a change of clothing provided by the school we do appreciate them being returned to go back into the tickle trunk. Thanks all!
