Valentine's
Day is a great day to show how much you care for someone. At least
two of the schools in the District used the day as a way to help
others.
During lunch on Valentine's Day, the Middle School's Future Nurses
Club sponsored a fund-raiser they called "HAVE A HEART".
The members of the Future Nurses Club made hundreds of chocolate
heart-shaped lollipops and sold them for 50 cents each during the
lunch hours. They've also been collecting change in the school's
main office. The money they raise will be given to UNICEF to help
the victims of the tsunami.
Early
in the morning on Valentine's Day, the students in Katy Pettit's
first grade class were playing postal worker and distributing the
"Lolligrams" they had made to help a Riley Avenue family.
The "Lolligram" was a Valentine's Day greeting with a
lollipop attached. Students bought them for their teachers, the
custodial staff, for their moms and dads and for their classmates.
"We
thought," explained Mrs. Pettit, "that if we could make
and sell a hundred that would be great. Instead, we sold 2,600 at
25cents each. We had to stop taking orders because we were running
out of time!"
