Hi Moms and Dads,

We have had a great week.  The children are really enjoying the Smartboard.  It is a very unique tool for reading and math.  

We are looking forward to our Valentine party on Monday at 10:30.  Each of you is invited to attend if your schedule permits.  Some of the children have not yet brought their valentines.  Please remember to send those on Monday.

Reminder:  Friday, February 18th was originally a holiday but is now a regular school day due to our snow day.  Monday, February 21st will be a holiday.
