Message from our Gym Teacher

Dear Families,

Due to wet field conditions, Chase the Snowman event, originally scheduled for December 3, 2025, has been postponed. The event has been rescheduled for Friday, December 12, 2025.

Should weather cause an additional cancellation, the activity will be moved to the spring and presented as Chase the Hedgehog.

Thank you for your flexibility.

Todd C. Brosious

Please note that all students participate in recess, and if a request is made for the child to remain indoors, it must be accompanied by a doctor’s note.
