We do welcome students to bring in Valentines or candy to share with their classmates. These items will be sent home. A friendly reminder that all food and candy items must be Nut-Free. Thank you.
* The PTG invites everyone to a virtual meeting on Monday evening at 6:00pm. They will be discussing the return of the Loop Race and all that is involved in this big endeavor. The link to the meeting is here.

Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tierney
