Dear Parents,


Welcome to another Friday! We have a lot going on, so please read today’s letter carefully.
Here are some notes to finish the week…


• Our PTO Family Fun Night is tonight! This one will feature dinner and a variety of activities! The dinner starts at 6:00 p.m. with the activities following. We look forward to seeing you there!

• Student Council appreciates your help with our annual Candy Gram sale. We’ll be selling 50 cent Candy Grams until Feb. 10 or when supplies run out. You will have a chance to buy a Candy Gram for your child at Fun Night tonight, and have it delivered on Feb. 14 to their classroom. All proceeds will go toward Student Council Fun Nights and service projects we’re planning for the remainder of the school year.

• On Tuesday, Feb. 14, our Valentine’s Party will include a snack in the cafeteria, a special assembly, and some “Valentiney” activities back in the classroom. There will be a short time for kids to exchange valentines with classmates if they choose to do so. (A class list is included in today’s folder.)

• There is no school on Friday, Feb. 17, due to mid-winter break.

• If you go grocery shopping this weekend, please remember small snacks for your child to bring to school to eat in mid-morning. Our morning is quite long, and several kids are hungry if they don’t have their snack. Also, we are low on Clorox wipes. If you could possibly donate some, we would all be appreciative! (…and stay healthier!) Thank you!

• Thanks for all your support for our substitute, Mrs. Shepich, over the past couple of weeks. She was fantastic! I will be returning to school on Monday and REALLY look forward to seeing your kids! :)


That about does it. Continue to check the Parent page of the LoomisLand website for updates on assignments and other helpful information. Please note that the link for my website is http://LoomisLand.net/LoomisLand.htm . Thanks again for all of your support.


Have a bundled-up weekend!
