🐾 **Hi friends! It’s Fred, your school facility dog!** 🐾
Brrrrr… it’s *extra* cold out there! With the winter storm and **dangerous cold** moving through, here’s a quick reminder and some **fun, safe ways** to enjoy time at home ❄️🐶
📅 **Important Paw-date:**
👉 **School is CLOSED on Monday, January 26, 2026.**
🏠 **Cozy & Calm**
* Snuggle up with a blanket and a good book (dog stories are my favorite 🐕)
* Draw, color, or build something creative
* Write a short story about a snow day adventure
🧠 **Smart & Creative**
* Work on a puzzle or play a board game with your family
* Help plan a meal or bake something warm with an adult
* Make a list of 3 things you’re thankful for
💪 **Move Your Body (Inside!)**
* Have a dance party in the living room 💃🕺
* Stretch, do yoga, or try a short indoor workout
* Help with chores—Fred loves teamwork 🐾
🧤 **Cold Weather Safety (Very Important!)**
* Stay inside as much as possible—it’s *dangerously cold*
* If you go outside briefly, wear layers, gloves, hats, and warm socks
* Come back inside if you feel too cold—no toughing it out
* Always check with an adult before heading outdoors
❤️ **Be Kind & Helpful**
* Help shovel, clean, or organize (with an adult’s help)
* Check in on family members
* Use kind words—they warm hearts faster than any heater
I’ll be here wagging my tail and waiting for you to come back **safe, warm, and rested**.
Until then… **Be safe. Be kind. Be cozy.** 🐶❄️
— Love,
**Fred** 🐾
