NOTE TO PARENTS:
Thank you so much for all the beads and other throws you sent for the parade
on Friday. The students had a wonderful time! Thank you to those who came and
helped out-untangling beads and helping throw, I couldn’t have done it
without you!
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day! If your child would like to exchange
Valentine’s Day cards, then please have them sign his/her name on “From” part
