February 8, 2026
Hello Linsford Families,
We hope everyone enjoyed the extra long weekend! So great to have such mild temperatures at this time of year! This is a gentle reminder to send your children with layered clothing for outdoor recess as the temperatures really change a lot during the day at this time of year. If your child loves to roll around and get wet, please consider sending some extra socks or dry pants in their backpacks!
The month of February is "I love to read month". We invite all families to try to encourage some extra reading time together this month! This is a great way to spend time together while reinforcing a basic skill.
We are looking forward to our Red, White, and Pink dress up day this Friday, February 13. This is a dress up day that was chosen by our student leadership team!
Have a wonderful week!
Warmest Regards,
Mrs. Kloschinsky & Dr. Murtha-Toles
