**Friday the 13th we will celebrate Valentine’s Day. Students can bring cards, please make sure they address them on their own. Click here for a list of names that your child can use for his/her cards. We will also have a "decorated mail box" contest for our Valentine's cards. These can be brought in on the 13th. This is optional and is to be done at home. No bigger than a boot box please. If your child does not bring a box, I will provide a bag he/she can decorate. We will also have healthy snacks that morning, if anyone is interested in sending in fruit Kabobs, juice, donut holes or paper products please let me know.
