In the month of February, we celebrate friendship. We will be discussing ways to be a good friend. The lower elementary children will all be wearing a bracelet this whole month to school to indicate that we are all good friends and the importance of it. To make this possible, we are requesting Lps. 20.00 to buy our friendship bracelets. Please send this money no later than Thursday, February 6^th. Make sure your child wears this bracelet daily.

 We encourage you to visit the review sites for the lessons we are currently studying.
