Valentine's Day/Wish Week/Kindness

Here's a list of the kids in our class should your kiddo need them to address their Valentines.  Boxes should be made at home and brought in on Valentine's Day.  We've decided to have a contest with two categories.  The kids know they do not have to enter the contest; it's a choice.  The categories are: "most creative" and most 'indicative of them" (a box that represents them to a tee).  Here are the names:

Isaac
Nakshatra
Brody

Kieu
Kai
Luke
Lauren
Tyler
Addie
Merek
Charli

Wish Week is just around the corner, and judging by our amazing participation during the canned
food drive I am hoping our class does a great job participating in Wish Week activities as well! Gold
Rush has agreed to participate in Legend High School's Wish Week. This is an amazing time of year
with fun activities and many ways to donate to a great cause. This year Legend will be honoring two
wishes. First Sara Raspanti, a student at Legend, went on her wish trip to Milan, Italy for fashion week
this past September.  Additionally, we will be raising money to grant another wish for this years wish
kid who will be revealed to Gold Rush students on February 7th. Wish week will be February 8th-16th.
