Hello Arbour Vista Families,
As we enjoy the beauty of winter, it's crucial to stay alert and ready for its challenges. With the amount of snow we've been shoveling, it feels like we've been training for a marathon! Please remind your children to wear suitable footwear and be extra cautious when crossing the street during winter. Make sure they wait for cars to come to a complete stop from all directions.
