February 19 - Book Group (All Ages)

This month's Book Group theme is: Book of Choice.

Your student can pick any book that they would like to read and present it to the group. This is a great way for your student to see what other kids are reading. It just may inspire them to check out some other books!

February 12 - Valentine's Day Party

It's time for our annual Valentine's Day party! Final plans have not been made yet, but this is always a fun party! Plus, who doesn't love receiving a Valentine?!

Students will have the chance to send and receive Valentine's from everyone. So, if your student(s) plan on coming, please leave a comment with their name(s) so that we can start planning on numbers, and, your students can start writing out Valentine's.

Please make sure that your student brings a box, bag, or basket that is clearly marked with their name. Also, please make sure that it is marked with the student's correct spelling and the name that you have RSVP'd for. In the past we've had students sign up with one name and then their box was marked with their nickname. That makes it difficult for the younger kids (and Moms who help) to find the correct place for the Valentine's.

Please check back here regularly to see who has signed up.
