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!

Make Up Snow Day
February 20th is now a make up snow day.  Tell your kiddo to please stop doing snow dances!
