Each year on or around February 14, the children are invited to exchange Valentine’s Day or Friendship Day cards with their classmates and teachers. Some families call this tradition St. Valentine’s Day and other families call it Friendship Day.
On February 14, each child traditionally brings in a little card with a note of friendship or kind words to give to the other children and teachers in his/her class. These cards can be handmade or store-bought. If you decide to have your child participate in this tradition, please be sure to make one card for every student in the class.
We cannot share food items including candy or sweets. If you would like your child to make cards at school, we can help your child, or we can send home paper and glue if that would be helpful for you to make cards at home. Please reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions or if you need assistance.
Each classroom teacher will provide you with a list of the children’s names in your child’s class along with the specific instructions for her classroom Valentine’s Day/Friendship Day exchange.
Let us know if you have any questions about the Valentine’s/Friendship Day Tradition.
We will celebrate on Tuesday, February 14. Students and staff are encouraged to wear PINK and RED!
