Hello Parents,

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you all spend the day being surrounded by those you love. There are a few things in the news today:

  • Bowl-a-thon envelopes have been sent home with your students. Students are asked to bring their money in to the office on Thursdays.
  • If there is a parent who is available every Friday (or just some Fridays) to do an art lesson with the class, let me know! It would be greatly appreciated.
  • This week is Spirit Week at KCA. There was a sheet sent home last week that detailed what each day has in store.
  • Tomorrow, feel free to send snacks with your students tomorrow. We will have a party during the day to celebrate the holiday. If any parents would like to bring food in, let me know.
  • IMPORTANT: My phone number has changed. My number is NO LONGER 720.560.6399. It is now 925.699.6528.


As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments or concerns.
