Happy Valentine's Day!
Thanks to all my students who remembered me this Valentine's Day. I appreciate your thoughts.
Halfway through February already, and the weather is warming up nicely. Please remember to continue to bring your winter gear to school. As long as there is snow on the playground, boots will be required to participate at recess.
Remember, Monday the 21, is a no school day because of teacher in-service.

What a Game!
I'm sure the talk of the week will be the Super Bowl game from the weekend. I was able to see the last half of the fourth quarter so I can keep up with the students. The poll response from last week was in favorite of the Steelers, 3-2, but the Packers were able to squeeze out a win.
I do have an announcement. This week, the students will have band on Monday and Wednesday. Mr. Plummer will not be available Friday because of a jazz competition.
