We use Valentine's day as a way to show our love for our school. We offer full and partial scholarships to many low income families and also pay for teaching assistant hours the school district does not fund. Families donate the money they would typically spend on candy and comercially made cards. The Art teacher and the Art committee volunteers work with the children and make valentines in which the children write about what they love and value in our community. It is one of my favorite times in the year because it is such a lovely opportunity to appreciate how fortunate we are. <br />MaryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501824432676733753.post-70144336291991591072010-02-10T03:23:17.346-08:002010-02-10T03:23:17.346-08:00Wonderful, thanks for sharing your refreshing thou...Wonderful, thanks for sharing your refreshing thoughts and ideas.Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12862050530289005223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-501824432676733753.post-77626263062654434302009-02-09T17:34:00.000-08:002009-02-09T17:34:00.000-08:00Hi Judith,Thank you so much for sharing how your c...Hi Judith,<BR/>Thank you so much for sharing how your classroom plans on celebrating Valentine’s Day this year.
