Valentine's Day Candy Grams are getting a makeover this year. Beginning Monday, January 30, students will be able to purchase "Smalentines" (Valentine's Day pencils) to give to family and friends. Each Smalentine costs $1.00 and comes with a Valentine's Day card which can be personalized and attached to the Smalentine.
Smalentines will be on sale after school only in room E6 (Miss Hughes) or D6 (Mr. Whitty), for 1sth through 5th graders. Kindergartners can purchase theirs from their classroom teacher. When purchasing a Smalentine, please come prepared with the recipient's name and the name of the recipient's teacher.
There are only 1,000 Smalentines. They will be sold until Thursday, February 9...or until they run out. Don't miss out!

BENICIA EDU. FOUNDATION'S GIVING CAMPAIGN
The Benicia Education Foundation (BEF) is the only non-profit, all-volunteer organization in Benicia that works for every child in all seven Benicia public schools. The BEF and Parent Teacher Groups have made an enormous difference at our schools by supporting teachers and students year after year. With donations totaling over one million dollars in the last 5 years, together they have filled many funding gaps. If you are willing and able to help, please check out this information and give your support. The students and staff at Joe Henderson and throughout the Benicia Unified School District thank you.
We all need to eat and many Henderson families do the bulk of their grocery shopping at Raley's Supermarket. If you have not done so already, please contact Patricia Flynn and request a FREE Raley's Quality of Life card to use on every grocery purchase. Doing so sends 4% of your purchase back to Joe Henderson Elementary School. Make sure everyone in your family has a card and remember to use it every time. The families, staff, and students thank you.
Email Patricia Flynn at patflynn94510@gmail.com to have a card sent to you for FREE (include your mailing address).
