HERON HEIGHTS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL<br />
Happy February! This month is full of fun activities and events.<br />
The first thing is a PTA general meeting on February 5. (Check<br />
the PTA website for the time of meeting.) All classes will have a<br />
Valentine’s Day celebration on Friday, February 13. Teachers will<br />
have students exchange cards and do a few activities related to<br />
friendship. We will have Smencils for sale to be delivered to the<br />
classrooms as a Valentine’s Day present. The children can buy a<br />
Smencil and give it to a friend; all proceeds from this activity will<br />
be donated to Relay for Life. More details as to how, when and<br />
where you can buy the Smencils will be sent home and will be<br />
posted on the PTA website the week before Valentine’s Day. The<br />
week of February 9, we will be collecting Coins for the Cure. This<br />
will also benefit Relay for Life, and if the goal is met at the end of<br />
the week, Mr. King will kiss a creature. We can’t wait to see what<br />
the challenge is this year!<br />
There is no school on Monday, February 16, in observance of<br />
President’s Day. A SAC/SAF meeting will be held in the school<br />
cafeteria on February 18 at 2:30pm. The Heron Heights School<br />
Fair is here! Join us Under the Big Top for some good fun. We<br />
will have many rides, games, food and an auction booth. Who<br />
will be Principal for a Day this year? All of this will happen on<br />
February 21 from 12:00pm to 5:00pm. This is a big event, so save<br />
the date and make sure to stop by to play with us. Don’t forget that<br />
Thursday, February 26, is an early release day.<br />
Please remember to visit the PTA website at www.heronheightspta.<br />

Hope everyone has fun this month and Happy Valentine’s Day!<br />

PARK TRAILS ELEMENTARY SCHOOL<br />
Love is in the air at Park Trails. We are now more than half way<br />
through the school year, but there are still plenty of things happening<br />
at PTE.<br />
The fourth annual Man in My Life event will be held next month.<br />
It will feature a sports theme with various games to play and treats<br />
to eat, and promises to be loads of fun for both students and the<br />
special men in their lives. For more information, contact adampam@<br />
gmail.com.<br />
A special thank you to everyone involved in our January events.<br />
Parents had a blast at our first ever Sports & Spirits Adult Night<br />
to benefit the Playground Project. Thanks to all the parents who<br />
worked so hard to make this a fun and successful event and to our<br />
wonderful sponsors. Park Trails would also like to thank everyone<br />
who contributed last month to the Dan Marino Walk benefiting<br />
local autism education.<br />
Our PTA continues to raise funds for the Playground Project.<br />
Please visit our playground website at www.BuildOurPlayground.<br />
