PINK OUT! So much pink last Thursday - many people wore pink (along with their black and gold!) to increase awareness of breast cancer. Let's do it again tomorrow!
Reminder: Willow Lower School is partnering with the Parenting Center at Children’s Hospital to offer parents/guardians resources to support their child’s success in the classroom. On Wednesday, Oct. 23 at 6pm, the Parenting Center will hold a session in the cafeteria on the benefits of establishing routines and tips on creating them.
