Valentine’s party will be held on Tuesday, February 9^th at 2:00. Next week I will send home a list of all the students in the class so your child will be able to address his/her Valentine Cards. Please help your child decorate a shoe box or a small paper bag for his/her Valentine cards. I know some kids love to be crafty and others do not, please know the box or the small paper bag does not need to be too fancy. 

Please continue praying for Rhyan, her family and the medical team. Rhyan is home enjoying family and friends. Ryan made it to school all 3 days this week. We were all very excited to have her back in class! Rhyan will be back in the hospital on Monday to have another treatment of chemo.
