Note from Principal Keffeler Hello Meadow Ridge Families,
As I write this email, the season's first hard overnight freeze is a few days away--and maybe even snow?? Please take the time to find the cold weather gear your child needs for school every day. We send students out to get fresh air until the wind chill/air temperature is -15 F. And, students have been cold outside on the playground this week! This transition to winter can be difficult to navigate, so please err on the side of warmth when dressing your children for school in the morning.
The book fair closes tomorrow! We are here for conferences tonight, so please come back and browse the shelves this evening.
Best, Karen
