February 2010

Can you believe we're already half-way through the second trimester?

This will be a great month to reflect on our accomplishments, and continue working toward our goals for this year.

We have many exciting events planned in February. Our class will be celebrating Valentine's Day with a card exchange on February 11. A note will be sent out with more details, if your scholar would like to participate.

We also hope to see many of our parents on Feb. 19, for our TET Festival of Friendship. This multi-cultural event will be filled with lots of fun and entertainment for everyone!
