Valentine’s Day Cookie Decorating

On Valentine’s Day we will be decorating bags to put Valentine’s into and cookies to have for snack.

Please choose one of the following for your child to bring on that day.

______ Candies to decorate cookies with

______ Valentine stickers

Your child can bring Valentine cards to give to their classmates. We ask that they only sign their names to the cards and not address them to children. It’s always fun to see how each child decorates their bags and cookies. Thank you for helping out with this fun day!

God Bless!
