Valentine’s Day Party

On Tuesday, February 14th, we will be having a Valentine’s Day Celebration from 1:30-2:30 PM. A class list will be sent home in students' Daily Folders. I would like for the students to “address” their Valentine’s themselves.  (Students will be making a Valentine’s carrying bag at school.  You do not need to prepare a Valentine’s Day box.)

We are also asking for food donations for the snack table. There are 19 students total. I will send  you a confirmation note with which item to send in.
