Martin Millennium Academy

Valentine's Day Announcement We know Valentine's Day is special, but we ask that we limit what is sent to school and discourage any deliveries. Flowers, balloons, stuffed animals, and chocolates/sweets cannot be delivered to the classroom or go home on the bus. If those items are sent to school they will have to remain in the front office and will have to be picked up by an adult by 2:50 PM. The office will not remain open after 2:50 for gift pickup. We suggest saving that special gift for at home and celebrating Valentine's Day at home as a family. Additionally, the same applies to gifts given between scholars. Students should not bring excessive gifts for one another. Flower arrangements, balloons, chocolates/candy, and stuffed animals may not be carried from class to class and must be stored in the office. Those items may not go home on the bus and must be picked up before 2:50 PM. If scholars want to treat one another we suggest a small card, a small piece of candy, or even better buy a Candy Gram as part of our February service project. We acknowledge tomorrow is a day for kindness and love, but we also are committed to teaching and learning. Thank you for understanding and your support.
