A Few Kind Reminders! Wear/Bring Tennis Shoes Daily Please have your child bring or wear tennis shoes each day. We offer the gym as a space choice everyday. Weather Appropriate Attire The children go outside nearly everyday and early morning/late afternoons can be chilly! Please send along appropriate outerwear. As winter and snow approach we will require all the gear - snow pants, boots, hats, mittens / gloves, etc. Please know that after school ALL kids go outside for about 15 minutes before snack. If your child does not have snow pants and boots they will be asked to stay on the sidewalk and won't be allowed to play in the snow. We encourage you to LABEL your child(ren)s gear - we will have a black sharpie at the sign in / out area :) Toys From Home On Thursdays, students are able to bring a non violent toy / game from home. No cell phones or electronics please. Toys / games are allowed during designated times only. * Please r emind your child(ren) that they are responsible for their own toys, and no trading please!

SERVICE LEARNING AT ONEKA! Thank you to the families that donated fleece to make blankets. The kids had fun tying them and we were able to donate 5 blankets. The blankets were donated to The Closet, a local organization that helps families in the district provide students with clothing, outerwear and other essentials.
