Welcome to the WAAG!
A quick reminder: If your child will be absent due to illness or an appointment, please make sure to phone or email the office to let Mrs Taylor know. Thanks! |
Turn your clocks back one hour on Saturday night, Nov 6.
Or you could wait until 2:00 am on Sunday. But that doesn't sound very appealing, does it? Nope. ;) |
