At Archway Lincoln, we will not celebrate Valentine’s Day as
it is traditionally celebrated in schools, but will instead celebrate Great
Hearts Day on Thursday, February 14th. Our class will have a short celebration, the
focus of which is on friendship and kind-heartedness, not gifts and candy.
Our classroom liaison and I will plan a celebration during
which the students will enjoy activities that recognize what it means to be a
good friend. Our hope is that each child is celebrated for the ways in which he
or she demonstrates Friendship in our classroom and community.
Please remember that students are not to bring in any Valentine’s
cards or treats for their classmates. We will take care of showing our
appreciation for our friends during our party. If any student brings in
Valentines or candy, we will need to put them in the backpack to be returned
home.
Thank you for your consideration of this special day and of
the traditions here at Archway Lincoln!
Feel free to e-mail Mrs. Gore and me if you have any questions.
Warmly,
Ms. Alford
