It looks as if we have returned to winter weather- complete with snow and colder temperatures.Most children did come to school appropriately dressed for the colder temperatures, but there were a few who did not bring warm coats, hats, boots or gloves with them.Please be sure your child leaves home every day dressed for winter in Vermont.Please check out our school website for information on frostbite.
