Dear Community:

Happy Snow Day! Hope you’ve been able to get outside and enjoy the snow. I was able to get out early this morning for a quiet winter hike with Cairo and his friend Calie. The trees were covered in a layer of ice and hung over the trail. It made for a very pretty walk in the woods!

Movie Night Fundraiser: We wanted to thank the community for their support last Friday during movie night. With the help of parent, student, and staff volunteers we were able to raise $628 to help fund our trip to Nature’s Classroom this spring. Thanks to all the parents for all the baked treats to support this event. Thank you to Gretchen for donating the pizza. Stay tuned for more upcoming fundraising events!
Mr. M and Ms. T.
