We are in need of a few parents to volunteer for our classroom party on Valentine's Day!  Due to a conflict, Mrs. Mercer is no longer able to serve as the party coordinator.  CUrrently, Mrs. Steelman is signed up to volunteer but I am sure she would love some helpers for this LOVE-ly event.  Our party will be held on Wednesday, February 14th @ 2:00 p.m.  We are in need of parent volunteers to plan games/activities & provide party treats.  Please send a note in your child's folder or email me at [email protected] if you are able to help out. Thank you!
