Valentine’s Day
Thank you for the many Valentine donations and for the volunteers who helped with our celebration.
100 Days of School
We will be celebrating 100 Days of School on Monday, February 26th – the day we return from winter break.
We will celebrate with a special snack mix.
At home please count out 100 of “something” to add to our mix (ideas include cereal pieces, fish crackers, pretzels or raisins) and bring it to school in a Ziploc baggie.
We do not have any food allergies.
