Hello families! 

This month in Advocacy we are writing letters to schools across the country in the hopes that they will write back! When we receive a letter back, we will be putting a pin in a large map we are creating in our pod. 

We also have an exciting week in February, Kindness Week! 

Kindness Week and What About Valentine’s Day? 

Kindness Week is celebrated during the week of Valentine’s Day or the week of February 12th. It is a long-standing tradition at Westgate. We celebrate and spread kindness by doing different activities throughout the week. Each day has a different theme, aligned with the different love languages. ​

Monday – Words of Affirmation​

Tuesday – Quality Time​

Wednesday – Acts of Service​

Thursday – Gift Giving​

For kindness week, our class will walk to Innovage on Wednesday, February 14th and hand deliver kindness cards. We will be sending out permission slips shortly, so keep an eye out for that! As we will be walking to Innovage, please have your child bring a warm jacket, gloves, beanies, etc. Be prepared for the weather if necessary!​

We will be joined by a high school class to build community within our school as well! Sadly, we will not be having any chaperones joining us at this time, but please feel free to email me if you would like to attend our next field trip.

But wait… What about Valentine’s Day? At Westgate, we do not exchange cards, candy, or treats. We instead focus this time on how we can show appreciation to members of our community.
