WDS will celebrate Valentine's Day on February 12 due to the Calgary Teacher Convention on February 13 and 14. We will be celebrating the themes of kindness, friendship, and belonging, through the sharing of Valentine’s cards at school. This is a fun and important tradition at WDS. Teachers will set aside some time in the afternoon for students to distribute Valentine’s cards to their classmates. If your child chooses to send Valentine’s notes/cards, please send one for every student in the class. Your child's teacher will email you letting you know the total number of Valentine's cards needed. 

Teachers have requested that students label the "To" section on the Valentine's card as ‘Friend’ or leave that section blank. There will be no classroom parties or sharing of food during this time. If you choose to attach candy or another item to the Valentine's card, then students will be taking those items home.
