Safety Concerns….

In recent weeks there has been an increase in the number of lacrosse sticks coming to school. Just yesterday, I counted 26 sticks during morning play time. This has become a serious safety issue not only at school but on the bus as well. We are setting up guidelines for use of sticks at grade level recess only. However, if problems continue I may need to request that no sticks be brought to school. Please encourage your child if they are bringing a stick to school to remember safety guidelines, especially on the bus. Thank you for your cooperation.
