Yes, our Valentine party is Tuesday morning. I know that you have been
thinking about coming to volunteer and help at the party......you have just
forgotten to send your note. So far I have a verbal commitment and one pink
note saying. "yes" to volunteer. Thank you Mrs. Middleton and Mrs. Aduddudell
for volunteering. I will let you know who else is coming to help with our
Friendship Cards for Soldiers Center. Soooooo, if you want to volunteer, it
is not too late to help! We need helpers to set up for the party (7:45ish).
Volunteer to help at our Valentine center (8:15 - 9:30)
Volunteer to help with the clean-up after the party (9:30 - 9:50)
Volunteer to help with all of the above....
All of this will be in the cafeteria. I will need help getting our supplies
to the cafeteria, too.
Valentine notes also went home with requests for goody donations. If you did
not get a note, please let me know. I sent a request to everyone. Valentine
cards and your Honeybee's Valentine decorated shoe box should be coming to
school on Monday. A few have already arrived. Please help your Honeybee to
write out the names of classmates. If you have an extra card....we have a
4th grade Buddy that we could send a Valentine card. If your Honeybee does
not remember their name, just leave it blank. We can write it at school.

Please continue to read at home, daily. Handwriting has been an area that we
have been working on at school. Please, please continue to work on this at
home, too. Card games are a fun way to work on addition and subtraction facts
at home. Just a few ideas for help keep those skills improving over the break.

their picture taken for the Wellness Wall of Fame.
