Flash Snow Day Planned For Boxerwood




Boxerwood to announce a “Flash!” Snow Day


“Put on your mittens and come play at Boxerwood!” That’s the message nature center staff plan to spread on social media after the region’s first big snowfall. Their aim is to encourage more kids and families to brave the cold and experience the fun and exhilaration of playing together outdoors in winter.


A “FLASH! Boxerwood Snow Day!” will be posted on Facebook, Twitter, and the Boxerwood webpage (www.boxerwood.org) the morning of a spontaneously-­scheduled Snow Day. Member families will receive an email and the nature center will record a message for callers on voicemail (463‐2697). Note that the Boxerwood event will not necessarily take place during weather-­related school closings, when driving may be hazardous, but may take place after school on the following day.

During the Boxerwood Snow Day, kids of all ages are welcome to go sledding in the field (bring your own sleds and saucers), make snow people and animals, build igloos and forts and castles, and have friendly snowball fights. Although staff will be on hand to monitor activities, all children without exception must be accompanied by an adult responsible for their safety and behavior.





So stay tuned…. After the first big snow, when roads have been cleared, check your favorite social media or call the nature center to find out and help spread the word about a Boxerwood Snow Day!
