In light of the air quality alert, we will not be taking the children outdoors this afternoon.  Have a great weekend!

 

The Alabama Department of Environmental Management issued a code orange air quality alert in Madison County and other areas in Alabama today.

This means ground level ozone is expected to reach levels that could be harmful to people with lung diseases including asthma and for children.

ADEM recommends adults with asthma reduce heavy or prolonged activity outdoors. Experts say if breathing becomes difficult, move indoors.
