🧣 Cold Weather Reminder
It is getting colder out there, so please dress for the weather.
When you go outside at lunch, you stay outside for the full lunch break, so bring your jackets — and actually put them on.
We know you are tough, but frostbite is tougher.

🧼 Lunch and School Cleanliness
Please clean up after yourselves at lunch.
Put your garbage in the bins and leave the cafeteria, hallways, and classrooms clean.
Do not leave messes behind for Mr. Roy. Let’s take pride in our school and keep it looking great.
We have also noticed more litter around the school grounds and along the paths through the skatepark and Met field area. Garbage can take hundreds of years to break down and can harm wildlife. Please put trash where it belongs — in the trash can.
