Valentine's Party Parent Sign up!
Please use the link below to sign up if you will be attending your child's Valentine's Party on Friday, Feb. 16th from 1:15 - 2:00. The office will be turning the sign up off on Tuesday, Feb. 13th, so please make sure you sign up by then!
Our Valentine’s Day celebration will take place on Friday, February 16th from 1:15-2:00 p.m.
In preparation for that day, students are able to bring paper valentines for their classmates. To make the process a little easier, we ask that students do not address the valentines but only fill in the “from” section with their own name. Please make sure they bring one for each student in the class.
**No valentine boxes will be needed. We will be making valentine bags in class that day that will hold their valentines. We are providing the white paper bags.
*If any parents would like to donate stickers or markers to decorate them, we would really appreciate it. Thank you so much!
