Valentine Boxes
On Friday
February 10th, we will be having our Valentine’s Day Celebration! Your student
is invited to create a Valentine’s box 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
February 6th, WOHE will be doing our annual coin drive to benefit Willard
Children’s Charitable Foundation. Our challenge 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 teacher’s jars. Silver coins
decrease the total for our classroom.
4. The class
with the highest overall total wins a PARTY!
