Wk 22 Newsletter

Do you know what today is? It's Groundhog's Day! Ask your student to share his/her thoughts about groundhogs. Will we have an early spring? Will we have six more weeks of winter? It all depends on whether the groundhog sees his shadow.

Weather forecasters are predicting cooler weather with a chance of winter precipitation. Be sure to tune into the local news for more information.
