Friday is Valentine's Day. As a secular program, we do not celebrate any holidays as a class. However, if your child wanted to bring in valentines and put them in the art pockets to go home at the end of the day, that is fine. Please no candy or baked goods as some of our children have food allergies.

Snack on Friday will be a special treat because it is one child's birthday.
