Our K-8 students will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Friday. Please work with your child's homeroom teacher if you are sending in snacks. Also, Valentine’s Day is about more than hearts and candy – it’s a great time to talk with kids about kindness, respect and boundaries. Learn age-appropriate ways to help your child understand what healthy connections look like. https://tinyurl.com/52c4bxht
