Valentine's Day
NOTE: This post has not yet been updated for the 2020-2021 school year. Expect changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please send handmade valentines. Although Pinterest can be a great source of inspiration, the student's valentines need not be Pinterest-worthy unless that level of work is enjoyable for them.
The students will be decorating bags at school that will be used to transport their valentines home.
If you plan to include a small treat, please be mindful that some of our community members have serious nut allergies. Read labels carefully. Rulers, erasers, pencils are popular non-edible options to consider in lieu of a treat. Valentine's treats will not be consumed on school premises; students will bring them home.
Students who can sign their names or are learning to write their names are encouraged to sign their cards.
Valentines may be addressed "To a Friend" or personalized for each student.
Need a list of your student's classmates' names?
Check Classmates page in Transparent Classroom for a list of your student's classmates. To access the list, click on the Classmates icon (pictured below) on the left of the Transparent Classroom home page.
Valentine’s Day Bake Sale Fundraiser
NOTE: We will skip the annual Valentine’s Day Bake Sale Fundraiser during the 2020-2021 school year.
Our Valentine's Day Bake Sale fundraiser has become an annual tradition. Students and MMS families make delicious treats, which are sold to MMS families during walk-up pick-up.
For this event, we will be accepting cash, checks, and cards.
Looking to earn Community Hours? The Valentine's Day Bake Sale (2019-20) sign up includes slots for donating baked goods, volunteering to set up, volunteering to be cashier, and volunteering to clean up afterwards.
All donations should be ready for sale and in containers that can be sold with the item. Selecting prices and pricing the items in advance is optional—we can determine prices on your behalf if you prefer.
Cookies can be sold individually or wrapped together with others.
IMPORTANT: Please label everything clearly as "Contains Nuts" or "Nut Free" as we have students with life threatening food allergies.
