Loya Families,
We can't believe how fast the year is flying for our little Eagles! We are so proud of the amazing things they are doing in class, we hope you see that at home too! February is a short month, but we have many things to celebrate before Spring Break arrives.
Our little Eagles are in for a special surprise gift from San Antonio In-Home Healthcare on Valentine's Day. We appreciate the Nunez Family for sharing their kind hearts with us in memory of their beloved parents.
We will not have a family literacy session this month, but we will celebrate with a Literacy Parade on February 28th, see information below.
🚶🏻♀️🚶🏻♂️Parents as a reminder, if you are driving within our campus at any time please be cautious and reduce the driving speed to ensure the safety of pedestrians.
On behalf of TEAM Loya, thank you for your support! We appreciate you!!
