Next Friday is Valentine’s Day and Red Day. We will celebrate with red snacks and we will have a Valentine card exchange.

After the winter recess (February 17-21), we will be celebrating the 100th day of school! We have special events planned for that day (2/28) and we need some parents to bake a dozen cookies each so that we can munch on 100 cookies with the Kindergarten class. More information about that day will be sent home soon.

Have a great week, and email me with any questions or concerns: [email protected]
