Bike activities will take place on the field throughout the day.

Bring Valentine's cards for classmates (if you bring for one, bring for all) and for other grades if you wish (no need to bring for everyone in other grades). No candy please. Students will deliver cards throughout the day to each other's handmade boxes. We'll decorate heart-shaped sugar cookies after lunch with nuts, fruits, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Students who wish to share original poetry or read the poetry of others will have the chance to do so in a morning all-school get together.
Homemade cookie donations (large enough to decorate) welcome!
