Valentine's Day 
We will have the opportunity to share valentines with our friends here at school.
We will have a celebration at school too. We will be making valentines boxes at school.
Your first grader may send a valentine for each child in the class.  I have included a list of our classmates.  

Please include everyone if you are planning to send a valentine.  Of course not required, but if your child sends in a candy treat, PLEASE remember our peanut policy.  Check labels for processing in a peanut 
facility!
