Sneakers or sturdy shoes are the safest for the playground and boots and snow pants will be 
needed when the snow comes.  December tends to be windy and cold outside at school.   It's 
a good idea to send a coat, hat and mittens with your child from now on.  Make sure all 
clothing items are labeled!  Your child needs this help to know what belongs to them because 
many children have similar outerwear.
