Share the Love through a Candy Gram

On Friday, February 10th, all homerooms will have students write candy grams to classmates/staff in the building. Student Council representatives will collect the candy gram forms and bring to Mrs. Maholic's room on Friday, February 10th.
On Monday, February 13th, Student Council/Ntl Helpers will have a meeting after school to make sure every student has at least one candy gram.
These will be delivered to homeroom classrooms on Tuesday, February 14th.
· Each student/teacher/staff member can write up to a maximum of 5 candy grams.
These are free of charge

Deliveries are not permitted during the school day for students. Please take note as Valentines is approaching. and students may not receive packages delivered to the school for safety reasons. If your child is bringing a gift for someone this should not be a disruption to the learning environment. We want to be inclusive and supportive of each other so please limit large items, balloons or breakables..

Love month!

Spread love and kindness!

Bus drivers, cafeteria staff, front office, custodians and teaching staff all need acts of encouragement and this is the month to show them. Consider donating time to cover a lunch class, small token of chocolate or sweet treat, cards of inspiration or motivation. And endless other ideas.

Reach out to the front office if you are willing.
