Valentine Parties Coming Soon!
A message from Mrs. Frankhouser and PTO
Parties will be on February 10th
We’ll again be doing a fun party in a bag for all of our Rattlers!
Many thanks to all parents who are working hard to make these parties happen for our kids. We are sending out this communication to all teachers and all parents to make certain we are all on the same page and to clarify for all. Some information has already been distributed and may need to be revised to fit the plan outlined here. Thank you for your patience as we continue to adapt and work out kinks.
We are having all students receive their class valentines in a white gift bag this year instead of bringing in pre-made decorated valentine boxes. They will get to decorate their bags at the party!
- In person teachers will get white gift bags from room parents to distribute class valentines into and then quarantine them for each child.
- Remote learners will have their valentines picked up by their room parents and they will distribute class valentines into white gift bags for pick-up.
In-Person Rattlers
Each child is invited to participate in a valentine card exchange for the students in their homeroom class. When preparing valentines to bring please DO NOT have your child write individual names in the "to" field on their cards. Please only write "from" for easier distribution.
Please put your child’s valentines in a zip lock bag labeled with your child's name and their teacher’s last name and send them to school in their backpack. In person teachers will be collecting them to quarantine & then distribute. Please send them by February 5th to allow time to quarantine valentines before distribution.
Remote Rattlers
Each child is invited to participate in a valentine card exchange for the students in their homeroom class. When preparing valentines to bring please DO NOT have your child write individual names in the "to" field on their cards. Please only write "from" for easier distribution.
Please put your child’s valentines in a zip lock bag labeled with their name and their teacher’s last name and drop them off at the front of the school. Room parents will be picking them up to quarantine & then distribute. Please have them to the school by 10:00am on February 5th to allow time to quarantine valentines before distribution.
If you signed up to donate any items for your class "party in a bag" please also bring those items to the school by 10:00am on February 5th. Label the bag, box or envelope you bring those donations in with your room parent's name and your teacher's last name!
Room parents will pick up all donations on February 5th between 12-2pm. If you are a remote family and you have library pick up on Fridays as well you can get both your books and party items in the 12-1pm overlap of those windows.
Remote parents can pick up Valentine Party Bags in the front drive of the school between noon & 6pm On Monday February 8th and 8am -6pm on Tuesday February 9th.

We plan to collect ALL prepared valentine notes on February 5th.

During the class party, students will receive their white gift bag full of valentines to decorate and enjoy activities and treats with their teacher & class.
**When preparing valentines and donations please remember
- your individual class allergies
- all food must be individually pre-packaged
