Valentine's Day

Dear Parents and Readers of this Blog:

Valentine's Day is upon us and the usual card exchange will be happening in our classroom at 2:30 p.m.
Please do not send any extra bags of candy unless it is attached to the child's card. We are limited to the amount of celebrations and  candy we can have at school and I am already going to exceed that by at least two. ( Thanksgiving, Halloween, Easter, Fiesta)....lol....
Thank You,

Mr. F
