Valentines Party
Our Valentine Party will be on Friday, February 14th from 9:45 to 10:45 am.  
We will be making Valentine bags during the week so you will NOT need to create one for your child to bring.
We have 27 kids in our class. 16 girls and 11 boys. Please have your child sign their names to the cards that they will be passing out but do not personalize them as to who will be receiving them.
We will also be decorating cookies. If your child’s permission to have cookies has changed, please let me know.
*Please do not send Valentines with any type of food or candy in them.
