Valentine's Day Information:

Exchanging Valentine's cards is a favorite activity for elementary students. All students may bring in valentines to exchange on Friday, February 13.  Due to our policy on snacking and food allergies, children are NOT allowed to bring in valentines with ANY type of candy attached to them or valentines that are packages of candy. There is no way to monitor and ensure that all candy brought in is on the safe snack list. IF your child brings cards with candy, we will have to send them back home. Thank you for helping us keep all of our children safe.
