Happy December 1st & happy first snow day! ❄️☃️
Here are a few quick winter safety tips to keep your kiddos safe in the cold:
• Dress in layers — warm coat, hat, mittens, boots.
• Take breaks and change out of wet clothes.
• Watch for frostbite (pale/numb skin) and hypothermia (shivering, sluggishness).
• Play safely — choose safe sledding hills and use helmets for skiing/snowboarding.
Stay warm and enjoy the snow!
