The Valentine’s party was a great success thanks to our two room coordinators, Tracy and Gretchen, and all the parents who helped out with the party! Thank you all for my wonderful Valentines!!

Important Dates:

Monday, February 15- No School- President’s Day

February 25 and 26- Parent/Teacher conferences. Soon, you will be receiving an email from School Reach to sign up for a conference time.

Please continue praying for Rhyan, her family and the medical team. Next week, Rhyan will have scans done to see how the treatments of chemo have been working so far. So prayers for good results! We were very excited to have Rhyan back in class this week! A reminder about a fundraiser to raise money for pediatric cancer research in honor of Rhyan. At the Mizzou Mens Basketball game today at 2:00, there will be free admission with a cash donation of any amount. All proceeds benefit pediatric cancer research. For more information visit MUTigers.com/RallyForRhyan. Don’t forget to wear your gold RallyforRhyan T-shirt! If you cannot make it to the game, have lunch or dinner at Shakespeare’s Pizza and show them the flyer that you received from School Reach on Thursday and 15% of the sales will go towards pediatric research also!

At the Tiger Team Store you may purchase a Mizzou hoops and Rally for Rhyan t-shirt, to wear to the game. These shirts were designed for the game today. They have adult and child sizes. The Tiger Team Store is located on the north side of the Faurot Football Field.
