Weekly Events and Important Dates

PTA Valentine Parties:  PTA Valentine parties are happening this Friday, February 13!  Parties will be held in the gym at the times listed below.  PTA will be providing all snacks and drinks.  Please do not send any additional food or candy in on the day of the party.

2nd 9:00-9:45am  
5th   9:50-10:35am
3rd 10:45-11:30am
K 12:30-1:15pm
4th 1:25-2:10pm
1st 2:15-3:00pm

In addition to the PTA party, grade levels will send home information regarding a Valentine card exchange.  Due to an increasing number of students with life threatening food and nut allergies, including candy with a Valentine card is discouraged.   If you are sending a valentine with candy included, the policy outlined in the Elementary Handbook 2014-2015 must be followed. The policy reads, “Due to an increasing number of students with life threatening food and nut allergies, as well as students with special dietary needs, it is required that any food for distribution and/or instruction be nut free and commercially labeled with ingredients."  

Please note the only outside food consumed at school will be the food provided by PTA at the party in the gym.  If you have a child with an allergy and are concerned about candy being included within a valentine, please make arrangements with the classroom teacher to have the Valentines sent home in a zip-lock baggie or picked up by a parent at school.  Thank you for your help in making this a safe and fun day for our students!  

Major Saver Campaign:  The 2015 Major Saver Campaign is in full swing!  Major Saver cards can be purchased via cash, check or online at www.majorsaver.com.  The online sale can be credited back to a particular student and school.  All cards purchased online will be mailed directly to the customer. 

Thank you for your support of our school!
