Townsend Weekly Announcements
Now that the weather is changing, please make sure your child comes to school everyday with proper winter gear: boots, snow pants, gloves, hats. Please label everything. We go outside for recess and brain breaks daily. The only time we stay in is if the ‘real feel’ is 0 degrees or below.
We have Santa’s Secret Shop this week. Your child can shop with their class for family presents.
There is a school board meeting on Wednesday at 5:30 in the HS library.
Just a reminder that our school doors do not open until 8:15 am daily. Please make sure to monitor your child during drop off in the morning.
Go Jayhawks!

Remember to take care of yourself as you prepare for the week. See you soon, Jayhawks!
