We are excited to give back to others this year for Valentine's Day!

A permission slip went home on Friday and we do need several volunteers. If you are able to help please return the slip this week and I will contact you. This is an amazing opportunity to demonstrate our 4 C's as a grade! Thank you for your support.

Reminder about Snacks
Just a reminder that we do have a time for students to eat snacks in the afternoon. They are encouraged to bring in a healthy snack, or save something from lunch, as a way to provide a little more energy for the afternoon. If you have any questions please let me know. Thanks so much for your support in keeping our energy up during these long winter days!
