Dear Grizzly Bears Families,
Time flies! We have to say GOODBYE to January!
Important events in February:

– National Read Across America Day: It is celebrated on March 2, the birthday of Dr. Seuss. It encourages kids to read wherever they are and celebrates the joy of reading. In honor of Dr. Seuss birthday, we will be having “Dr. Seuss Spirit Week” during Monday February 27th – Friday March 3rd. Each day will have a different theme that represents one of his books. 

– Thursday 02/02, Groundhog Day!

– Valentine’s Day Party: The party will be held on Tuesday, February 14th. During the party, we will be handing out Valentines, singing songs, and having some special activities.
