2S Tidbits

Dear 2S Families,

I hope you all are having a great start to the week. It is hard to believe that the month of January is just about over. With this in mind, Valentine's Day is not too far away.  Coming home tomorrow will be a class list of names, as 2S will be exchanging Valentine's Day cards on February 14th. We will not be having a Valentine's Day party, but instead exchanging cards. Students are welcome to bring in store bought valentine's or make them at home. Valentine's Day cards with candy are okay as long as it does not contain any tree nuts or made in a facility that has tree nuts in them. Please contact me if you should have any questions.

Father/Daughter Dance:

The SMS Father Daughter Dance will be taking place on February 10th. You can sign up for tickets by February 3rd or buy them the night of the 10th. The event is from 6:30-8:00 pm. Below is more info about the dance.
