In an effort to help cast a vision of Service and Compassion for our 4th/5th graders here is a project they are working on for Valentines Day!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Recently, it was reported in the news that Valentine’s Day is a day that affects our elderly community in the most sorrowful way. This is due to the elderly who have lost their significant others, and they feel the loss again at this time of year.  

We would like to approach Valentine’s Day as an opportunity to bring joy to some members of our community who may be forgotten or need a little cheering up.  In lieu of a classroom Valentine’s Day party, we would like to make Valentines for residents of the Heritage House in Buckley. The Valentines will be delivered to Heritage House, by staff, after school on Tuesday.  

We will provide some of the materials to make the Valentines, but if parents would like to send in supplies or prepackaged goodies to go with the Valentines, we welcome them.

If students have already purchased Valentines for each of their classmates, they are welcome to bring them to school to distribute. We will send home a class list. Please remember we are not able to have homemade treats and there will not be time for a party that day.  

We are also hosting Jeff the Whale Tale guy for workshops and an assembly that day.  

Thank you for supporting our efforts in helping kids serve their community.

Mrs. Grace, Mrs. Thompson, and Mrs. Ward
