PURDYS CHOCOLATIER FUNDRAISER

Our Northern Lights School Parent Fundraising Society is pleased to announce they are running a Purdys Chocolatier Fundraiser this year! Friends and family can order between now and March 6 by visiting: https://fundraising.purdys.com/campaign/000021275 or by scanning the QR code.

Orders will be available for pick up on March 19 during the Evening Student Involved Conferences or on March 20 during the Daytime Student Involved Conferences.

(There is no spot on the online order form to put down a child's name so, when possible, please create the account to submit the order under the parent or guardian name that is attached to a student in our school...rather than the name of the friend or family member ordering so we can search it.)

Thanks in advance for your support!

VALENTINE’S  

This year, Valentine’s Day is on Saturday, February 14 but the last day of classes that week is Wednesday, February 11.  Sometime between February 9 to 11 classes at Northern Lights School will recognize and approach Valentine’s Day discussions as opportunities for students learn more about how their actions of kindness, gratitude, friendship and small, thoughtful gestures can positively impact the world around them.  

Some classes may choose to facilitate an optional exchange of Valentine’s cards/notes from home and these teachers will send a list of first names home. Please see the teacher’s individual blogs for details about what they may or may not be doing. 

If you child would like to bring a message of kindness to other students before February 11, we ask that you respect the following expectations:  

• Each child in the class should receive a message if your child would like to send something.  (There is no expectation that your child will send a message, but we request that if your child does bring a note or Valentine that no student in their class is left out.)  
• What is written is kind  

For safety reasons, no candy, chocolate or other food items can be handed out. (If your child brings any candy, chocolate or food items, they will be sent back home with them.) Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding.
