A Note from the Principal Dear Thorson Families, The snow has returned! Thank you for making sure your child has the appropriate outdoor gear for recess each day. Being that it is winter in Wisconsin, this can vary from day to day. Please be sure to check in with your child about what they need for the day. Next week is Crossing Guard Recognition Week. This will be celebrated February 19-23.The school will be presenting our wonderful crossing guards with a token of our appreciation. We encourage families to thank the crossing guards as they come and go from school with their support. We appreciate their help in ensuring everyone’s safety.
