Many students come to school in a cotton hoodie or coat which is NOT resistant to rain. Only vinyl, rubber, or plastic is resistant. Cotton, polyester and other fabrics absorb water, making for a very cold trip outside when it is raining. Vinyl ponchos are cheap ($2) and easily purchased at the dollar store. If you think your child&#8217;s coat is\u00a0 not resistant to the rain, please consider buying one.<a href=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/lanawayk\/files\/2020\/11\/poncho-blue.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-7069\" src=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/lanawayk\/files\/2020\/11\/poncho-blue.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"219\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/lanawayk\/files\/2020\/11\/poncho-blue.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/lanawayk\/files\/2020\/11\/poncho-blue-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/lanawayk\/files\/2020\/11\/poncho-blue-150x150.jpeg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 219px) 100vw, 219px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/lanawayk\/files\/2020\/11\/rubber-boot.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-7070 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sd41blogs.ca\/lanawayk\/files\/2020\/11\/rubber-boot.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"115\" height=\"186\" \/><\/a>Rubber boots or hikers<\/strong>. Rubber boots are best, but hikers are definitely better than running shoes. Students&#8217; feet got very wet today as they insisted on wearing running shoes.

Some students bring their boots for the forest in a plastic grocery bag and then change back into their regular shoes when they&#8217;re back to class.
