Parent Liaison, Mrs. Ventura, would like to send Valentine's Day Cards to schools in all 51 states!
She needs your help! She needs addresses of middle and elementary schools, ideally from schools your child attended.
If you want the cards sent to a particular teacher or staff member, let her know. There is no guarantees that all schools requested will get them. Limit 2 schools per state.
Please email Mrs. Ventura with addresses at Jennise.Colinventura@killeenisd.org.
Students will be working on writing Valentine's Day cards this week during their lunches.
