Monday 2/11- catch a friend: Service Project #1 Students will be making valentines to deliver to the elderly in our community. Our grade levels will collaborate on this activity and create cards, videos and songs to deliver and share with the local Senior Citizens Center, the Beehive Home and other local agencies. 

Tuesday 2/12- Working together as a team- wear your school shirts to school. Classes will participate in a game called “me too” where they identify as working together as a team.

Thursday 2/14- Share the love! Wear red or pink and celebrate sharing love with Valentine’s Day activities.
