Posted on January 8, 2020

On February 14th students will have their spring party. At this party, students are allowed to bring Valentines, if they wish, to share with friends in their classroom. More information about the party and Valentines will come from grade level teams.

For your information and planning, in order to align with the Lincoln Public Schools healthy schools initiative, and in order to maximize safety for all children, we are asking families to not send candy or other edible items with Valentine’s. Children may bring Valentine cards. If families wish to send something along with the cards, please consider sending a pencil, eraser, or stickers. If you have questions, please feel free to contact Mrs. Schirmer.
