SOME OF THE PRIZE WINNERS!

We are playing a game. We had to pass the foil ball around. When the music stopped, whoever had the ball had to peel off a layer of foil and eat what was listed. Some of the stuff we had to eat so we could win a prize was mustard, white vinegar, Vienna Sausages, onion powder, cottage cheese, strawberries and chocolate kisses. If you what you saw, you won a prize!

We are enjoying all this wonderful food. Our Valentine party moms did a great job!

Mrs. Swenson and Mrs. Matthews are busy getting our wonderful Valentine's Day party started. They are passing out yummy treats for us to enjoy!
