Our class parties will be Friday, February 12th at 2:00 PM. Our room moms have helped to plan a fun party for
our kiddos. The kids will have a chance to participate in some service-related activities in which they will be able to share their love with others.
During the party, the kids will have the chance to make a
decorative bag that they can use to collect Valentines. We know that some of the
kids will want to make a box/bag at home, and that is okay too. Our only request
regarding homemade bags/boxes is that they be small enough to fit inside their
cubbies.
If your son/daughter
would like to pass out Valentines, they may do that during the party. Each teacher will email a list of all of the students in their class in case your son/daughter
would like to write names on his/her Valentines. We each have 23 students in our
class, except for 4B which has 22 students. Of course, we do ask that if your son/daughter brings Valentines, that
they bring enough for everyone in the class.
In addition to fun games and treats, we will have 3 service
'stations' that they will rotate through, each with a different focus.
They will work together to make a knot blanket for donation to kids who
need a blanket in an emergency. Second, they will have the opportunity to
make a valentine for a resident at the Sandy Lake Nursing Home. Third,
they will have a 'puppy love' station where they can bring an item to donate to
the animal shelter or bring loose change to combine with others for a class
donation.
If you
would like to send in something for the animal shelter, feel free to have them
bring it and drop it off anytime next week. We will put boxes in each room
for collection. Here are some ideas:
- Treats
- Kitty
Litter
- Any kind
of wet or dry cat/dog food
- Loose
change to collect for a donation to Animal Shelter
Finally, if you and your child would like to fully
experience this joy of giving, the Room Moms will will gather as a small group to deliver these
items after school. We will meet at the Carrollton Animal Control
Services at 3:30 at 2247 Sandy Lake Rd, Carrollton, TX. They will gladly
receive our collection and show us briefly around their facility. We
will then come back to Sandy Lake Rehab and Care Center (meet there at 4 pm)
to drop off the valentines and hopefully pass out a few to residents -
1410 E Sandy Lake Rd. (Note: This will not be a school sponsored event.)
Important: Please email your son/daughter's teacher and/or room mom and let us know if you are
able to join in the delivery so we can tell the facilities how many of us to
expect.
If have any questions
regarding our Class Valentines party, please don’t hesitate to ask. We're looking forward to a great celebration!
