Hello After School families!

This past month we were adjusting to a new schedule of going outside right away and then coming inside to eat snack after outdoor time. This adjustment has been going well.

As the weather starts to get colder, please see the After School weather guide, which I will be emailing to all parents to ensure your child is dressed appropriately for the cold weather. It is also listed on the right side of this webpage.

We have been enjoying more projects. We had the opportunity to pair with some UW Health students who have been coming on Fridays to share health-related knowledge as well as do other fun projects!

Hope you all enjoy your time off from school during the holidays,

Thanks for all you do families!

Blessings,
Phoebe
