The 14th

Dear Families,

We will exchange cards on Valentine’s Day. If your child brings in cards, they need to have one for every child in the class (a class list went home). We prefer cards without candy, but if there are treats, they will be brought home, not eaten in school.

We were going have a class food drive, but there is already one happening. Jared Conant, Maine’s ambassador for Muscular Dystrophy and an 8th grader at HMS, is about to celebrate his 13th birthday by collecting food donations for Yarmouth Community Food Pantry. We will have collections boxes in each hallway and in the office to help Jared if your family would like to donate a food item or personal care item. This is a great way to show our Valentine’s love for our community.

It looks like there will be more snow on Monday, so a project for home is decorating a box or envelope to serve as a mailbox. I can’t wait to see them on Tuesday!

Have a fun, snowy weekend, Ms. Rhoads
