 This Week's Announcements... 
 

1. GO SAINTS!!!!  Super Bowl Bound!!!


 

        

2. Pastries For Parents will be on Tuesday, February 9.  More information will be sent home this week.

3.  We will exchange Valentine Cards on Friday, February 12.  Exchanging cards is completely optional,
but I ask that if your child brings cards to pass out, that he or she includes every child in the class.  I am
sending home a list of classmates' names this week.  All cards should be signed and addressed at home.
You can send them in as soon as you would like.  We will not be having a party, but we have several
fun Valentine Literacy Activities planned for that morning.

4. Start saving beads and items to throw at our Lyon Mardi Gras Parade!  Our class will participate in
the parade and throw beads to the other student and parent bystanders.  Every student should bring
something to throw.  You can bring beads, stuffed animals, cups, doubloons, or even candy to throw.
Bags of individually wrapped candy, such as Tootsie Rolls or Starburst are great.  We will make our
costumes at school.  All parents and family members are invited to come watch us parade.  It will begin
at 1:30 on Friday, February 12.

5. Mardi Gras Holidays are from Monday, Feb. 15 to Friday, Feb. 19.  I hope everyone has a safe and
Happy Mardi Gras!!
