Recess NewsPlease remember that when temperature and weather allows (no rain!), students will be going outside for about 20 minutes of outside play. This exercise and fresh air helps reset the brain and body for better focus in the afternoon. We are so fortunate to have such a great play area, including the running track, for our students. Please make sure you child is prepared for outside play, including winter coats, hats and gloves as necessary.
