Folwell Families, As the weather warms, students will continue enjoying outdoor recess. Please send your child with warm clothing: coats, gloves, hats, snowpants, and boots! So they can play comfortably and safely. While we do our best to help, we have a limited supply of extra items, so your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you for helping us keep all students warm and happy outside!
---------------------------------
Familias de Folwell: A medida que el clima se vuelve más cálido, los estudiantes continuarán disfrutando del recreo al aire libre. Por favor, envíen a su hijo/a con ropa abrigada: abrigos, guantes, gorros, pantalones para la nieve y botas, para que puedan jugar de manera cómoda y segura.
Aunque hacemos todo lo posible por ayudar, contamos con una cantidad limitada de artículos adicionales, por lo que su apoyo es muy apreciado.
¡Gracias por ayudarnos a mantener a todos los estudiantes abrigados y felices mientras están afuera!

We usually post for MPS students—but this one’s for adult caregivers. 💛
If the kids in your life are affected by deportation or family separation, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

You can find two resources from the Minnesota Association for Children's Mental Health below and in out linktree. We hope these help you support young people with care, honesty, and calm during really tough moments.
