Dress Warm!  January weather can be unpredictable. Students are required to go outside for recess if the “feels like” temperature is 10 degrees or above.  Students will have to stay on the cement unless they have boots to play in the snow/melting wet ground.  It is also good for them to have snow gloves and pants and maybe an extra pair of socks. Items may stay at school for the week if they do not need them at home.

STO update from Joel Groenenboom - We have one more reason to rejoice today, the final tally on last year's STO collection is in. Even though we didn't hit our goal, we didn't miss it very far. Our goal was to collect $551,193.33, we collected $544,507.78, a short fall of only $6,685.55. I would like to say Thank You to all of you who made donations, asked for donations, made calls to individuals, and prayed for this program. Most of all let us all take time to thank God for his grace and providence throughout this process. We took time to ask him for help so now let us acknowledge Him for the help that he gave.
