Valentine’s Day Party
On
Friday, February 12th, we will be having our Valentine’s Day celebration! Your
student is invited to create a Valentine’s boxes at home and then bring it to
school on that day. I will be sending more information home about the party as
time gets closer.
Coin Drive
Starting
Monday, WOHE will be doing our annual coin drive to benefit Care to Learn. Our
challenge next week will be to use our little bit of loose change to make a BIG
difference! Here is how the competition will work:
1.
Each teacher will have their own jar to collect coins.
2.
Only pennies should be placed in our classroom jar.
3.
All silver coins and dollars should be placed in other teachers’ jars. Silver coins
decrease the total for our classroom.
4.
The class with the highest overall total wins a PIZZA PARTY!
So
empty out those piggy banks and check those couch cushions!
