* Create a card for your student(s), no larger than 8 1/2 x 11 inches
* Be creative: include pictures, poetry, nicknames
* Cards will be displayed the week of February 11, 2019
Please submit cards no later than Thursday, February 7, 2019. You can submit them to your student's homeroom teacher.
Please sign-up HERE to RSVP for attending lunch!
VALENTINE CHOCOLATE BARS
Valentine Chocolate Bars have arrived! Only $1.00 each / 6 flavors to choose from.
Have your kids come to school store 8:30 - 9:05 each day to purchase .
You can buy for yourself, buy and give to a friend OR buy one (secretly) for someone else! Buy for $1.00 then leave their name on the list, and they can come to store 8:30-9:05 and pick up.

PENNIES FOR PATIENTS
Inman’s Jr. Beta Club is helping the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society raise money for cancer research and support for kids with cancer though our annual Pennies for Patients drive. Students are encouraged to bring in spare change or even dollars to give to their classroom collection box.
Money can also be collected online with the Pennies for Patients website HERE.
They can put the money toward their homeroom—the class that raises the most money gets an Olive Garden lunch. Yum!
The class that raises the second highest amount gets a pizza lunch from Jr. Beta as a thank-you. Let’s go get those pennies!!!
