REQUEST for VALENTINE CARDS

February is the month that we celebrate friendship / l’amitié, caring and love / l’amour + aimer. In addition to the traditional activities that surround the ways we share our love and our feelings with our families and friends (e.g. valentines), your children will be learning that their friendships are based not only on similarities, but on differences as well. These differences are celebrated as gifts from God. We will emphasize the value of each human being, and the idea that friendship requires tolerance, patience and the acceptance of each other’s varied strengths and weaknesses. Throughout the month we will be recognizing the children for their helpfulness and friendly attitudes in our classroom community.

On Friday, February 13^th we ask that your child wear red, white, or pink clothing for a valentine celebration and card exchange. Students are invited to bring in their valentines in a labeled bag as soon as possible so that we can distribute them into decorated bags for Valentine’s Day. 

*Please include ONLY YOUR CHILD'S NAME on x30 cards. DO NOT address them to individual students. 
This allows for simple distribution and ensures that no one is forgotten.

Enjoy the Family Day holiday on February 16^th
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday, February 18^th. 


Please dress your child in warm clothing EVERY DAY. 
(Water-proof mittens – instead of gloves - work best & remember to always send their snow pants and replace used clothing from their extra set of emergency clothes.)
