PTA FUNDRAISER NIGHT!!!
VALENTINE'S DAY
Our students are invited to give Valentines to their classmates, just as always. This year, due to COVID-19 protocols, they will need to bring them to school no later than February 8th so that the Valentines may sit for the required 3 days before they are distributed. If your child brings Valentines after the 8th, they unfortunately will not be able to distribute them until 3 days have passed, which will be after Valentine’s Day.
Valentines may include edible items, as long as they are individually packaged and not homemade. Students will open their Valentines on Friday the 12th.
Teachers may share additional information specific to your child’s grade level. We’re so happy that our Otters can continue the tradition of exchanging Valentines!

CHARACTER TRAIT OF THE MONTH
Friendship!
Friendship is spending time with someone you trust and enjoy, and accepts you as you are. Friendship can come in many forms. Some of your friends may be from school, while others may be from your neighborhood or activity that you are involved in. You can also have friends within your family.
The friends your child chooses are critical influences in their lives. Ask your child what qualities he or she looks for in a friend and why it is important to have friends you can trust. After talking about true friends, plan a weekend this month to host a fun slumber party with the friends your child most trusts and enjoys. Plan the party together with your child, then sit back and enjoy watching him or her grow healthy relationships!
