Dear Parents,

This week we have a Thursday folder since there is no school tomorrow or Monday due to teacher in-services.  Today your child took his/her first spelling test.  On Tuesday your child will bring home his/her test.  There will be no new spelling words until the week of February 2nd.

Our Valentine’s party will be on Friday, February 13th from 11:45 – 2:45. 

Letha Harnick, Renee Johnson, and Jason Torrey are our helpers.  Brooke Keys will provide the snack.  Renee Johnson will provide the drink.  Samantha Dutton will provide plates and cups.  I could use at least one more parent helper and several more snacks for our party.  If you’re interested, then please let me know.  During our party we are going to create holiday crafts.  We need supplies for our four centers.  These ideas came from Family Fun website.  If you would like to see the craft, then please visit
