Valentines Day is next week! It feels like this year is already flying by so quickly. Here are a few reminders for our big day…

  -If your child chooses to bring Valentine’s Day cards, please make sure he or she brings enough cards for every student in the class. There are 22 students in our class. Please also know there cannot be any food items included with the card, but if you want to include a small non-food item that is okay.

  -If your child wants to bring an already decorated box or bag to school so he or she can collect their Valentine’s Day cards that is perfectly okay. The box or bag needs to come from home, as we will not be decorating them in class.

  -If your child has a “special someone” they want to exchange a Valentine’s Day gift with, he or she will need to do the exchanging in the hallway.

  -Our school party will begin after lunch from 1:00–3:00pm. Thank you to all of the parents who are donating our food items to make our party successful and fun! The kids are very excited!!

  -School uniforms are required to be worn throughout the day.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
