Dear Edgemont Families,

Welcome to a new week. I hope everyone had a good weekend and enjoyed the sunshine. This week is Valentine’s day on Tuesday.  Class parties for 1st-6th grade will begin at 2:30 pm on Tuesday.  If you’re interested in helping, please reach out to your child’s teacher.  If your child will be bringing Valentine’s, please make sure they have one for each person in their class. If they have a separate valentine for a good friend, we ask that they give that to them outside of school.  We’ve also been talking with the students a lot about focusing on friendships this week, which also goes along with our Kindness Week this week.  There are some fun things this week with Kindness week, which you can read about below.  Have a great week!
