With the weather being cooler 🥶 in the mornings and warmer ☀️ in the afternoons, it is a prime time for students to shed heavier layers 🧥and sometimes leave them behind. Help us return lost items to you by labeling 🖊️ your child's jackets and sweatshirts! Even initials can help us figure out where they belong!
