         The Valentine’s Party will take place on Thursday, February 12.
         All of the children enjoy exchanging valentines with their classmates.  You may choose to have your child make valentines for each child in the class or you are welcome to use store bought valentines.  Either type of valentine is perfectly acceptable.  Please be sure though that your child brings a valentine for EACH child in the class (20 valentines).  We do not want anyone to feel left out or have any hurt feelings.  If you feel you are unable to provide a valentine for each child in the class please contact me for other arrangements.  We also do not want any child to feel left out that they do not have any valentines to give.
         Please decorate a box (such as a shoe box or Kleenex box) for your child’s valentines and send it to school.  You may send the box to school whenever it is ready and we will display it in the classroom until the valentine’s party.          Please send your child’s valentines to school on the morning of Thursday, February 12 in a sack or baggie labeled with your child’s name.  The valentines should not have names on them as to who they are to, just that they are from your child.  That makes delivery of the valentines much easier- your child can just drop one valentine in each box.

         Thank you!

Reminder: PTO Gift Basket Fundraiser

This is the last week to send in items for the fundraiser. Each grade level is collecting items to put together a themed gift basket to be raffled off at the Homecoming game on February 13.  The kindergarten classes are preparing a basket of kid's craft items for our part in this worthy fundraiser for the PTO (Parent-Teacher Organization).  The PTO funds many projects in our school including special assemblies, playground improvements, and field trips.  Don't forget to come on out to the Homecoming game and see if you can win one of the baskets! Other basket themes include Snacks, Movie Night, Cold Weather, Vehicle Care, Spa and Pamper, University of Michigan, and Michigan State! Thank you for supporting the McBain PTO!
