Just put them in a sealed plastic bag and either place them in containers set up in the lobby of either the Cotuit or Marstons Mills school, or send them by backpack with your children. VACATION PLANS: Looking ahead to the upcoming school vacation, parents could be planning family activities that will ben- efit their children's health and education. Walking the canal, other local trails or the beaches in good weather can make for fun and fitness. Cape museums such as The Natural Science Museum in Brewster , The Green Brier Nature Sanctuary or Heritage Museum in Sandwich or the Children's Museum in Mashpee have displays that are of interest to the whole family. A trip to Boston could include the Museum of Science, the Aquarium, the State House or the Children's Museum. Reading together from books supplied by your local library is a great family activity. Thinking and planning ahead can avoid the "What can we do now?" vacation doldrums and help to broaden your children's interests while creating happy family experiences. AFTER SCHOOL: The schools' PTO is again sponsoring an after-school enrichment program that extends through March 30. Instructors include an artist from the Cotuit Center for the Arts, a chef from the Mayflower Nursing Home, an expert in medieval studies, and a classical ballet dancer as well as volunteer teachers and parents with special talents to share. Other topics include science, story-telling, chess, and various arts and crafts Feb. 17: Last day before winter break Feb. 27: First Day Back http: //www.barnstable.k12.ma.us/Cotuit/cmm.html Kvffifc lM Feb. 15: 5:30 p.m. HyannisEast School Council Feb. 15:7:30 p.m. Hyannis East PAC,Everyone is welcome to attend!

Thank you for your cooperation. SPECIAL EVENTS: Valentines for Soldiers: Mrs. Pfeifer, one of our second grade teach- ers, has a nephew who is deployed in Iraq. She had asked him if there was anything that the soldiers needed. He responded that one of the biggest difficulties they faced was not being able to talk with their families. Therefore, our school will be put- ting together a package to be sent to Iraq on Feb. 13. If you would like to donate a pre-paid phone card, please send it in to your child's teacher. Please keep in mind that a 100-minute domestic phone card only provides 20 minutes of actual phone time. Thank you for your support! We're sure that your kindness will be very wel- comed in Iraq.
