We'll listen to a a few books about love/kindness, learn how to cut out some hearts, make some love potion and eat a snack made with love! Also, If you don't see a future thunderbirds name/email on my guest list...please let me know and be sure to invite them to RSVP! -Mrs.Victoria Savich and Mrs. Lindsey Guillen FYI...Just a friendly heads up that we do play and explore lots of items and materials that can be a possible chocking hazard for children younger than 3.  Those little box tops don't seem like much but Trailwood has earned over $14,000 from box tops over the years! Click here for a list of participating products. Then just clip and bring them to the office by Feb. 9. Check to make sure they haven't expired. Labeled sets of 50 are preferred but it's fine to drop off just a few. We collected enough box tops to earn $315 last fall. Not bad, but we can do better! Consider asking neighbors or extended family if they have any to share. There are more easy ways for you to help Trailwood earn money from box tops as well. Go to BTFE.COM/EARN to learn about the Box Tops Bonus App and special promotions. If you have questions, please email Kellie Harvey, kelliesharvey@gmail.com Thank you! |
