Correction to info

in December newsletter:

It was noted in the article about

Michael Runtz’s visit that Josh

Libby invited him. It was actually

Drew Libby that organized the

visit. Good work Drew!

Please ensure that your children are coming to school with their mitts and possibly a second pair for those days that the snow is extra wet!
