Valentine’s Day is a special celebration at Sequoyah. We want our parents to be aware of the guidelines for student gifts. All gifts should be able to fit into a backpack (approximately 12 inches or smaller). For safety reasons, no glass (breakage) or balloons (allergies, the safety concerns of balloons on school transportation and the distractions they cause to classroom instruction). Additionally, deliveries to classrooms will be limited due to distractions to instruction. Thank you for your understanding and please contact our office if you have any questions.
