Valentine's Day

We will be celebrating Valentine's Day on Thursday, February 14.  We will be exchanging Valentines during Exploratory. A list was sent home last week with the names of students on Team Triton. The students are permitted to bring Valentine cards and treats for the class and/or team. You do not need to send items in for the whole team, though we ask that if you are sending something in, please include the entire class so that nobody is excluded. We have 54 students in our team; 27 students in each class.

PLEASE NOTE: Any treat that is edible MUST be packaged and will be consumed at home. (Ex: please do not send bakery cookies, cupcakes, etc.)
