of McKinney, TX
I hope 2026 is off to a wonderful start for you and your family. Here at school, our students have been busy learning, exploring, and building friendships! With Valentine’s Day this month, we’re looking forward to celebrating kindness and caring through fun, age-appropriate activities your children will love. Along the way, we’ll also be building important social and emotional skills that support their growth both in and out of the classroom.
Sincerely,
Christine Brauen
Black History Month
February is Black History Month, a special time to celebrate the achievements and contributions of African Americans throughout history. In our classrooms, children will explore inspiring people and their accomplishments through books, hands-on activities, and meaningful conversations.
Valentine’s Day
We will be celebrating Valentine’s Day on Friday, February 13th. Children are invited to bring in valentines to share with their classmates and will participate in Valentine-themed activities throughout the day. Classroom parties will be held in the afternoon at 4:00. Please check your child’s classroom door to sign up for treats.
