Please let us know if you would like to contribute. 

Thank you for your continued support!

2.     On Friday, February 15^th, we will be celebrating Valentine’s Day and 100 Day with an afternoon celebration.  WE STILL DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH VOLUNTEERS!  Remember that you do not have to have a completed criminal record check to help us out, and we would welcome any grandparents or aunts and uncles that would like to come.  Volunteers are asked to be here at 12:45 and will be finished at 3:20.  If you can help us out, either by volunteering your time or sending in a snack, please email or send a note as soon as possible.

3.     Valentine’s Day is coming up.  For invitations, please have your child sign the bottom of the card and you may address it to “my friend”.  This makes for smooth delivery of the invitations!  We will be handing them out on Thursday afternoon.  There are 19 children in each class, but you only have to do enough for your child’s class!

Have a super weekend! J
