This time of year seems to be filled with lots of activities so please be sure to refer to our classroom newsletter or reminders that come home from the office periodically. The kids have been asking whether or not we will be having a Valentine party. I explained to the kids today that we will not be permitted to have a party but, we will be able to have a Valentine exchange at the end of the day on Friday, February 12th. I will send more information as the date nears. If you would like your child to participate in the exchange they must provide a Valentine for each child in the classroom. A class list will be provided with student names. Treat bags will not be permitted but, a small lollipop or treat attached to the card will be permitted. More info to come!
