The children have been invited to celebrate friendships by exchanging valentines
on Friday, February 14th.
If your child decides to make and give valentines, please be sure that they bring one for all the children in the class. A class list was sent home the last two weeks. Please email if you need another. If your child's valentines are ready to go it is helpful if they come into school early. We will make pockets this week.
