News for 1/13

• Valentines Day Celebration - THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13th (I will be out of town on Friday,  I apologize for any inconvenience) If you choose to do classroom valentines day cards we have 27 students. Please leave the To section blank and have your child write their name in the From section. This makes passing out cards much easier. Have your student bring all their cards in a box or gallon size ziplock bag with their name on the outside. We will decorate bags to store our valentines day cards/candy so there is no need to make a card box or bag at home. Thank you! Please view our sign up genius and consider donating Party Item Donations for our friendship snack recipe! 
• Eyeglasses- Feel free to drop off your used eyeglasses in Webber’s main office to be donated to the Lake Orion LIONS club.
• PJs for PB&J - Webber students and staff are invited to wear pajamas to school on Friday, January 31^st, if they donate a jar of peanut butter and/or jelly. All donations will go to the Lighthouse organization in Clarkston. Thank you for your support!
