Tet Festival and Valentines Celebration

Happy February!
I sent this note home today but I know these letters don't always make their way to parents in a timely manner and this is an important note.  Please let me know if you have any questions.


Dear Room 5 Families,

Next Thursday, February 12 will be a fun and

exciting day!  Two celebrations will be taking place.

Lunar New Year Festival: In the morning at 8:45 we

will be having our annual celebration out on the

blacktop.  Parents are invited to join us.  1st graders

will be parading with their dragon masks and there

will be several different performances.  You may

wear traditional clothing from your culture to

celebrate (most scholars and teachers will be

dressed up for the occasion).

The Lunar New Year Festival is a very special Ethan

Allen event and it will be crowded.  Please plan to

arrive early and park in the neighborhood.  If your

child is wearing special clothing they should wear it

to school and bring a change of clothes for

afterwards.

If you would like to help with the decorations in the

morning before the festival, please let me know.  Ms.

Chin is organizing this big event and would love

some parent helpers.

There is no school on Valentine’s Day this year, so we

will be having a friendship celebration in class

during the afternoon.  If your child would like to

bring Valentines, cards, or small treats to pass out

they are welcome to.  Please follow these rules to

make sure that everyone has a fun day:

1. If you bring something, there must be one for

2. Please do not write individual names, it is

EVERYONE.  We have 22 scholars in our class.



difficult for the scholars to pass them out.

Instead, they can write “To my friend.”

3. Please do not bring treats with nuts or goodie

bags.

4. Treats need to be packaged.  The scholars will

be taking them home, not eating them in class.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,

Mrs. Smith
