Wow, what a crazy week this has been! I hope you enjoyed your family time and stayed nice and warm. Thank you to our wonderful staff who cleaned up our driveways and parking lots. What a pleasure it was to pull up this morning to a clean parking spot and walk into the building without slipping! District 66 is the best!!Valentine's Day is quickly approaching. I will be sending a list for valentines home next week. Please make sure your child has a valentine for everyone, should he or she choose to pass them out. Also, there is no candy allowed; a non-food trinket is always acceptable. Thank you to all the moms who are in the planning stages for the 2/14 party.
