We started our Valentine’s party by first painting a WOODEN VALENTINE CRAFT and DECORATING A HEART COOKIE to win a Treat Bag. Then we played a riveting VALENTINE BINGO and won a Soft Friend, and then played a HEART MATCH GAME and won a Box of Chocolates and more! Then we sang “I Love You” with Barney and checked out our special Valentine Cards from our classmates. Then it was on to devouring a feast of Valentine snacks. And then we proceeded to enjoy watching a Valentine movie: Madly Madagascar! And to wind down the festivities, we read “Valentine Cats”. Thank you to all the kids and their parents, the Valentine Cards and treats were spectacular!
And thank you to every student who also gave me a special Valentine, and an extra special thank you to Andrea’s mom, Brittney, for the lovely mini red vase with a gorgeous succulent (Calandiva flowers), and the fancy bottle of red wine, and to Addison’s mom, Jill, for the beautiful, powerful scented flowers in a vase, and the absolutely adorable mini house that lights up, and to Dawn’s mom, Cierra, for the fabulous bottle of red wine and the loveliest card—it meant everything. I am so grateful, and thankful, and feel truly overwhelmed with gratitude. Thank you!!! I feel appreciated and immensely loved!
