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!
