 Dear Families,

I hope you enjoyed the snow this past weekend! It's that time of the year that our body and minds need to be pushed outside for fresh air and the sounds of nature. Sunday was a great day for it! Thank-you in advance for taking the time to review updates and important reminders! Any questions or concerns let me know. If I have missed anything please reply-all to this email.
