At Archway Lincoln, we will not celebrate Valentine’s Day as it is traditionally celebrated in schools, but will instead celebrate Great Hearts Day on Friday, February 12th. Our class will have a short celebration, the focus of which is on friendship and kind-heartedness, not gifts and candy.
Our classroom liaison and I will plan a party during which the students will enjoy activities that recognize what it means to be a good friend. Our hope is that each child is celebrated for the ways in which he or she demonstrates Friendship in our classroom and community.
Please remember that students are not to bring in any Valentine’s cards or treats for their classmates. We will take care of showing our appreciation for our friends during our party. If any student brings in Valentines or candy, we will need to put them in the backpack to be returned home.
Thank you for your consideration of this special day and the establishment of traditions here at Archway Lincoln!
