Valentine’s Day is February 14th and all children are invited to participate in a small celebration within their classrooms. Students are invited to bring Valentine’s Day cards to share with friends. We ask that if your child chooses to participate, he/she brings enough Valentine’s Cards for each student in the class. If families need assistance, please reach out to Ms. Tina Ramirez, School Counselor. Teachers will be sending class lists with first names only if you would like to personalize the cards. Students will be provided with white Valentine’s Day bags that they can decorate prior to the party. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher.
Sincerely,
Woodside Elementary School
