Weathersfield Weekly

Winter activities are finishing up this week on Wednesday, February 7th. Remember all students have an early release day, so that they can attend their Winter Activity. We are looking forward to the final week of students and staff having a great time. It is wonderful for all of the students to experience something that they may not get to do on a regular basis. Just a reminder if there are families that still need to pay for their child's winter activity, please do so, ASAP. Please reach out if you have any questions.
