Dear STrEaM Families,

Let it snow! Winter has definitely arrived. Parents, PLEASE ensure your children are coming to school dressed for the weather! This week, with temperatures expected to be very cold, we will have lunch indoors (with safety protocols including desk shields). We will continue going outdoors for 15 minutes during lunchtime.

Winter Gear: Outside Every Day!

We are an outdoor-focused program and we go outside every day (except for those RARE and few days it is deemed too cold or unsafe.)

Students are expected to dress appropriately for winter weather: bring coats, hats, gloves, boots, ready to walk the trails in Muldoon Park, play on 10 minute breaks, romp in the snow, or run around at lunch. Footwear such as sandals, slippers and crocs (all seen on Friday!) are not adequate or appropriate for the conditions.

Families in need of support with winter gear, please contact Mr. Mokelke or Mrs. Biondich and we will utilize our resources to support you.

Upcoming Student Leadership Book Swap & Bake Sale

Thursday, 12/9 during 8th period, the STrEaM Student Leadership Team will be hosting the first STrEaM Book Swap & Bake Sale. Students will bring in books that they would like to trade for tickets. Those tickets may be used to swap for new books or “purchase” baked goods from the bake sale. Any profits made or books not swapped will be donated to local charities. More details to follow.

Next week is a short week, with no school on Thursday 11/25 and Friday 11/26 to celebrate Thanksgiving! December is already right around the corner. Stay warm and stay safe.

“Outside Every Day!”
