Gray’s Woods CEEL

Clothing

Winter weather is upon us! Please send snow clothes and boots for your child. It’s best to have an extra bag to store all of their snow gear and keep it

organized. Please label all of their clothes and boots. We have found many single mittens and

gloves thus far. There is a greater chance of getting them returned to you if their name is on

them! Outdoor snow play: Children must have boots to walk in the snow. Otherwise they have to

stay on the pavement outside. Children must wear snow pants to play in the snow. Playing in the snow makes CEEL more fun! Please send

snow gear!
