Please remember that student-led conferences will take place on Wednesday evening and Thursday.  There will be no school on Thursday, February 16, Friday, February 17 or Monday, February 20.  All students will need a sack lunch on February 21.  We will eat once we get back from the symphony. 

Thank you to Gina Reynolds for organizing our Valentine's Day party.  It will be on Tuesday at 3:00 pm.  Thank you to everyone that has sent in things to help our party be a success.  I know that the kids will have a WONDERFUL time!

If you haven't signed up for the International Festival, please do so.  We are still in need of help with serving and setting up that day. Also, please sign up what food your child will bring in so that the committee can get a better idea about sign up.
