Valentine Fun

Marissa Crary, Melia Christenson, Cody Gulliford, and
Tanner Evans look at the valentines and other fun items
found in their boxes.

February 14 is always a special
day in the elementary department.
Students use their creativity to
create a mail box to receive cards,
candy, or other treats. It is put
outside their classroom door. It is
amazing how full they become!
Together on the morning of
Valentine’s Day, all the students
gather in the Round Room to
dig into the mailboxes and open
the cute little cards. Many of the
younger students ask “Who is it
from?” Teachers help point out
the person so they can match the
printed name to the real person.
A quick “Thank you!” or a hug is
given.

In the afternoon, students
lined up in the hallway
outside the Round Room.
The girls looked lovely in
their pretty dresses and
fancy shoes. The boys
were handsome in their
nice pants, neat shirts (and
even a few ties). Each girl
linked her arm in a boy’s
arm and they walked
slowly towards the stage.
On the stage sat last year’s
King, Queen, Princess, and
Prince. Each couple bowed
before the court and took a
seat. This continued till all
the students were in the
room. Then the new court
