There are 25 students in our class. If you plan on sending Valentine’s with your child, please DO NOT write who the Valentine is TO, just who it is FROM. You may attach a store bought candy if you would like. Your child will not be able to open/eat any of the Valentine’s while at school. We will be making Valentine Bags at school for your child to collect their Valentine’s in. No need to send a box from home.
