Let’s hope the Groundhog was wrong about those six weeks of winter.  The slowly rising temperature is definitely a nice change from the bitter cold January days.  Thank you for your support and donations on Hats for Haiti day.  The kids were very excited to share their hats with each other and support a good cause.

Valentine’s Day

We will have a Valentine party on the afternoon of Friday, February 12^th.  Students are welcome to bring finger food snacks to share with their friends (no nuts).  Students may bring a drink for themselves, but please do not send large bottles of juice or pop.  If students choose to bring Valentine cards they should bring one for everyone in the class to help build a sense of community.  Following is a list of the students in our class:

Alessandro            Mason         Ethan           Helena         Kate

Ashley                   Maya           Liam            Shaun          Obsine
