Please be on the lookout for order forms coming home for our Sweetheart Smencils Sale next week! PTCG is selling these delightful Smencils for $1 each from January 29th through February 2nd. You can send a Sweetheart Smencil to your son or daughter, a brother or sister, friends or cousins, or even a sweet teacher at DeKeyser!
