Rock Your Socks for Down Syndrome Day

In support of Lily and all children with Down syndrome, we would LOVE IT if all students wore brightly coloured, mismatched socks on Friday, March 13! We will be posting this as a school-wide event.

Spring Weather and Change of Clothes
Please could all students bring a change of clothing in a bag to be kept in the classroom. We have space in the room to keep a bag for each student.
Our playground is muddy and wet and as the season transitions into Spring, we will be having a lot more rainy (and hence muddier!) days. At Clairlea, we encourage students to be outside in almost all weather conditions, enjoying the play possibilities that all types of weather bring.
Having kids sit around in wet socks and pants/jeans/leggings is not a great idea. Also, the office staff should not be hunting around for change of clothes when kids get wet.
Each student should have a spare set of clothes, several pairs of socks! in the classroom for a quick change. I will not be sending wet and muddy kids to the office to call parents to bring clean clothes.
Also, please have kids come to school with outdoor shoes (preferable rain boots!!) and indoor shoes. Our carpet and floors are becoming very muddy because students are not changing into indoor shoes. Thanks you!
We have a busy week ahead! As always, thank you for your support.
