Snow days are so much fun... but safety comes first! Keep kids protected while they enjoy the winter weather:

• Dress warmly and have children come inside periodically to prevent frostbite and hypothermia.
• Use proper protective gear for winter sports. Helmets are essential when skiing, snowboarding, or playing ice hockey.

Have fun, stay warm, and stay safe!
