Printing your own Valentines is a great way to keep things simple and reduce waste- simply print only what you need. It also gives your children the option to customize different sentiments for different friends.
They built a new school in our neighborhood and we were redistricted to that school. So, Emily was new there as a 5th grader. They sent out a note {{like one week before Valentine's Day}} saying that the kids couldn't exchange cards. Apparently there was such an uproar that they changed their policy. Of course, you have to give a Valentine to each kid... duh!
ReplyDeleteSo sorry that your school does not do a Valentine exchange. That is pretty pitiful.
Those are beautiful! So what is the reasoning behind the no Valentines at school? We always had to give them to every kid...I just showed certain classmates I really, really liked them by "accidentally" giving them two.
ReplyDeleteLove love love that "Long Thread" bird card!
ReplyDeleteThose are such cute ideas! We always had to give a Valentine to everyone. I used to love those things! The little paper bag that we decorated and taped to the front of our desk. So fun!
