BPE Families, Due to COVID Valentine's Day Celebrations will be a little different than previous years. We have decided to allow students to bring Valentine's Cards and boxes to school on Friday, February 12th. Students can bring boxes already made or they can make one at school. Valentine's cards can be brought but no treats are allowed to come to school with their cards. Please do not send cards with candy attached or candy cards. All snacks or treats will be provided by the school. No outside treats will be allowed (just like Halloween and Christmas). COVID guidelines state that items should be quarantined for 24-48 hours. Therefore, students will not be taking their Valentine's boxes home until the following Tuesday when students return to school after Presidents' Day. We apologize for any inconvenience this causes, but we want students to be safe. Thank you in advance for your support. BPE Teachers and Staff
