Love!
Typically this is the month that our minds are drawn to the topic of love. There are many ways to express love, but the two I would like to bring up is our love for our children and the love of our Lord.
There is nothing like the love that we have for our children. It is God given! It lasts forever! It loves when others can't see the reason why. It is truly something we cannot explain from the moment that we feel that movement in the womb, or the moment that we realized the adoption was going through and we hold them for the first time; and then beyond to when they hold their first child in their arms. It is a 1 Corinthians 13 kind of love! God has blessed us incredibly with these little ones and not so little ones as well.
Then we have this incredible love of Jesus. His love is the first and best example of love for our children. He loves us just like this! There is no explanation. He loved us before we were born, and He loves us when we make mistakes. There is truly nothing that can destroy His love for us.
So in this month of February, I encourage you to celebrate the great love our our Lord and the wonderful blessing of our children!
Thank you all for being awesome parents and loving your children!

Fun Activity Room
We are so excited to begin planning our ELC Activity Room. This will be a special class where there will be active centers for your children to enjoy. Our goal is to start these special classes beginning the month of March. We would love to have your assistance with this. Below you will find an Amazon Wish list. I know that some of the items may be too expensive for one family. Therefore, some families may decide to join together to purchase one item. If you have any questions or ideas, please email Joy Kang or Diane Winningham.
Please click on the paper clip below to view items. Thank you for all your support as we work towards this fun class!

Valentine's Day Parties and Events
All class parties are on Wednesday, February 14th! Please check the Class Newsletters for information.
If you bring a treat for one, please bring a treat for all. Valentines should be peanut free—if you have any questions about food allergies in your child’s particular class, please ask the teacher. Valentines will be taken home and enjoyed.
Please do not send valentines to a specific child. It is easiest to disperse if you note who the gift or treat is "from".
