This week, students will "draw" a slip that will determine who they will deliver secret Valentine gifts and clues to ONLY ON Friday, February 10 and Monday, February 13. Between now and February 10th, students will use classroom time to make handmade gifts to deliver to their recipient’s mail sleeve during our Secret Valentine fun. Along with these schoolmade gift they will also deliver a clue that hints to their identity. This year, all gifts and clues will be made at school.
Here is where your help is needed!
On Tuesday, February 14th, we will have a Secret Valentine Reveal where students will reveal their identity and will also learn who has secretly delivered their schoolmade gifts & clues. To prepare for this reveal, your child will need to bring one gift - a book no greater in value than $5. This book does not need to be brand new and can be gifted from your own home library if it is in like new condition. Please note that 100% participation is required in this school wide tradition. Books should not be gift wrapped to conserve waste; however, a nice message written inside the book is encouraged.
Our own Book Fair (running Thursday, February 2nd - Friday, February 10th) is an excellent place to find books for your child's Secret Valentine. In addition, The Haunted Bookshop in downtown Iowa City has reasonable prices, a good selection, and is locally owned. If you have questions or concerns about providing a book for our Secret Valentine Reveal on Tuesday, the 14th, please ask your classroom teacher. Thank you for participating in this beloved Willowwind tradition! Additional notes may also go home about class Valentine exchanges may go home based on the discretion of the classroom teacher.
