Welcome to week
twenty-five! This week’s theme is: Be Mine!
On Thursday, February 14th, we will be having a Valentine’s Day Celebration from 12:15-12:45. If your students would like to hand out Valentine’s Day cards during this time, they are welcome to. If students choose to bring cards, they must bring a card for every student in the 2nd grade (see list that was sent home previously). Please do not send candy, fruit snacks or other food items with your child’s Valentines. Small favors such as stickers, tattoos, etc. are fine. Bringing Valentine’s Day cards to school is completely optional and children who do not bring Valentine’s Day cards will still participate in our celebration.

Starting on Monday, February 8th
through Friday, March 8th, our school will be having a Box
Tops and Labels for Education contest. Students will bring in Box Tops
and Labels for Education to their teacher. At the end of each week of the
contest, the class who brought in the most Box Tops and Labels per capita will
receive 15 minutes of free time or extra recess. At the end of the 4 week
contest period, the class who collected the most Box Tops and Labels For
Education will earn a uniform free day. Box Tops and Labels for
Education allow us to earn money for our school to use on supplies. You

Campbell’s Soup, Betty Crocker, Spaghetti O’s, Real Simple, Dannon, V8 and many
others.
