Happy Valentine's Week!

Thank you to all of the parents that have made our Kiss-o-Gram sales run so smoothly. We are grateful for your help and making this fundraiser even better! (I don't think it's ever run so smoothly!)

Upcoming Events/Reminders:

- Many students have LOTS of missing work. When I question them about missing work, I often hear: "You never gave me that," or, "I already turned it in." However, when I ask them to look in their desks, voila...there it is! (Most of the time it's already completed.) Please remind your children to turn in their work. If work is not completed, it should be coming home for homework. Every child is given adequate time during the day to complete their work. If you have any questions, please contact me. You can also keep up with their grades through the Home Access Center.

- Monday is the last day to buy Kiss-o-Grams. Each Gram is 10 cents and can be sent with a message to a friend or teacher. All Kiss-o-Grams will be delivered on Tuesday!

- Our Valentine's Party will be held on Tuesday beginning at 1:45. I sent home a note 2 weeks ago saying that we would have some sweets and healthy snacks at the party. Please let me know if you are planning on sending something. Also, children will be exchanging Valentine's during the party, as long as they have one for every person in our class. They may bring a box to put their Valentine's in. If they do not bring a box, I will supply them with a paper sack.

- Class Pictures are on Wednesday! Please make sure you take an extra minute for a comb or hair brush that day. ;) Order forms went home in Thursday folders.
