Valentine's Day INFO

Happy Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching.  Since Valentine’s Day is on Ash Wednesday this year, SJV will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Friday Feb. 9^th. We will be having an ‘Old Fashioned’ Valentine’s Day Party on that day.  By ‘old fashioned’ we mean, just a simple valentine card is gift enough!  Please have your child fill out their valentine cards in their own printing, as the card will mean more if they spend some time working on it.  A class list is being sent home so your child can address the cards to their friends if they would like.  This could be a time consuming process, so help your child plan ahead and do a few cards each day.

Please do not send in candy or treats.  Instead of treats, we are inviting the children to bring in any red fruit that they like (washed, cut, and ready to eat, brought in a ziplock bag) to share.  In the classroom, we will be making a special fruit dip for our red fruit!  Your child is also welcome to wear Valentine colours to celebrate the day as well.

To give more meaning to Valentine’s Day, the grade 2’s wanted to raise some money to share their love with those in need.  To raise money they are selling candy grams for $1.  This money will be used to go shopping as a class and purchase food for the St. Vincent de Paul Society.  Please support our Candy gram initiative!

Thank you for your continued support!
