Temperatures are predicted to drop, please encourage your student(s) to do the following: dress in layers (two or three) including wearing a hat, gloves or mittens, ensure no skin is exposed, and minimize time spent outdoors. Stay warm and safe!

Mask education in action! Nurse Casserly engaged her youngest students by reading, asking follow up questions, and providing a fun follow up activity. Our students have been doing a great job of wearing their masks and they enjoyed their lesson!
