Valentine's Project

Once again we will be sponsoring 2 children for the Valentine's project.  Our school will be collecting small gifts, toys, snacks and other items that will be delivered to Carson (4) and Amelia (3).  These children are either cancer patients, survivors or siblings of children who have or have had a cancer diagnosis.   We will also be taking donations to cover the cost of shipping.  We will be collecting items until January 24th.  Please consider making a valentine, buying a small gift or gift card or contributing some candy or snack items for Amelia and Carson!  



Please complete a survey and let the assistant teachers know how they are doing!  Thanks!  Your input helps us improve!
