VALENTINES PARTIES

LOST AND FOUND

Parents, look for the treat signup poster and the day assignment for your child’s special party. There will be an indication of how many valentines to bring.  You do not need a list of classmates, just have your child’s name on the back. Please feel free to join us in the classroom for the party!

We have gathered many items of clothing just too cute to discard, but also too numerous to store!  Please check the bag to claim anything that is yours.   AND,…PLEASE MARK YOUR CHILD’S NAME ON ALL OF HIS CLOTHING.  We try to get it back to you!
