| Awesome October SES Afterschool Newsletter |
Nothing beats Indian summer. What an amazing run of spectacular weather! Afterschool is humming along smoothly as students settle into a nice rhythm of choosing which outdoor activities they want to try each day. And now, just as most kids have become successful at remembering their snack and water bottle, the season is changing and the “what to bring list” is exploding. It’s time to wear coats and hats and bring mittens and extra layers in their backpacks. Now we need outdoor shoes (boots) and indoor shoes (sneakers) at afterschool every day. (our regulations do not permit sliding around in only our socks. What a pain in the neck!) We will continue biking on the rec.path on Thursdays as long as weather permits, and then we will change back to walking when the snow flies. Warm outdoor gear is the key to enjoying outside play. If anyone needs help with any winter gear, we probably have something you could use. Please let me know if you are interested.
