Tuesday is Valentine’s Day! **All students may bring in valentines to exchange on Tuesday, February 14.  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 safe. IF your child brings cards with candy, we will have to send them back home.
