Kiss 'n' Ride
We will continue our alternate Kiss 'n' Ride arrival and dismissal procedures this week and hope that the sun and rise in temperature will melt the snow on Woodlawn St. Thank you parents for your patience and cooperation! You all are rock stars!
As a reminder: Preschool parents who drop off their children at Door 1 in the AM, please follow the Kiss n' Ride ride line to enter the parking lot by Door 1. If you arrive to pick up your child BEFORE 4:00pm at dismissal, you will be able to get to the school via Woodlawn St.
Thank you!

🐾Woodlawn Pause with Ms. Hill
Hello Woodlawn Families!
Enjoy this week’s Woodlawn Pause called UNDERWATER BREATH.
When we are in water, it reduces the effects of gravity, and our bodies float. Water holds us and allows our bodies to flow gently and smoothly.
Our bodies have a lot of pressure on them each day—from the pull of gravity, from things we hold or carry—both physically and emotionally.
Giving our bodies a moment to glide and flow gracefully can help us to unwind stress and open our bodies to more peace and ease.
