However, students will not be allowed to eat them in class and we still need permission, so please fill out this form – Valentines Treat Permission Form We have 27 students in our class.

It is very time consuming when passing them out. Students can decorate a Valentine’s box, or something similar, to bring in on that day. I will have a bag to give to students who do not bring a box from home. We will also have a treat on this day. It will be a sugar cookie. I have received food permission forms for everyone but, if something has changed with your child, please let me know if they CANNOT HAVE a sugar cookie.
