Important Dates

1. Friday, Feb. 8th: Half Day
2. Saturday, Feb. 9th: Father-Daughter Dance
3. Thursday, Feb. 14th: Great Hearts Day- At Archway Lincoln, we will not celebrate Valentine’s Day as it is traditionally celebrated in schools, but will instead celebrate Great Hearts Day on Thursday, February 14th . Each class will have a short celebration, the focus of which will be on the virtue of Friendship and kind-heartedness, not gifts and candy. Please remember that students are not to bring in any Valentine’s cards or treats for their classmates. In each classroom, students will have opportunities to show appreciation for their friends during the party. If any student brings in Valentines or candy, we will need to put them in the backpack to be returned home. Our liaisons will be contacting you with more information in the coming days.
