Mrs. Sampson LOVES you!

HAPPY FEBRUARY!! I loved meeting with everyone at Parent Teacher Conferences, so thank you for taking the time to meet with me.

Valentine’s Day – On Tuesday, February 14th, we will be having a Valentine’s Day party. We will have the opportunity to pass out and receive Valentines. This year administration will allow candy to be placed in Valentine’s Day cards. However, students will not be allowed to eat them in class and we still need permission, so please fill out this form – https://forms.gle/NV9ccPGHqCFsuHBW9 We have 27 students in our class. If your child chooses to participate, please make sure they bring enough Valentines for every student. Please do not have your child write who the cards are to, just who they are from. 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 either be a sugar cookie or donut. 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 or donut.

Important Dates:

• Feb. 14th – Valentine’s Day – Stay tuned for more information
• Feb. 20th – No School – President’s Day

As some of may have known, I have gone home early a few days last week due to sickness. Your children have worked so hard, and been so kind no matter who is in the room! I’m starting to feel like I may be on the down slope of this, but please remember that we are in a time of the year where sickness is going around fast. Please keep your children home if they are sick. I would much rather have them at school when they feel they are ready! Thank you so much!
