Valentine's Day Memories: School Festivities (Part 1)

Tweet

When I was a little girl, my elementary school was for Kindergarten through 6th grade. All the classes got to celebrate Valentine's Day every year. It was so much fun! I always looked forward to the annual craft time, which was held just a few days before the 14th. Our teacher allowed us to spend a couple of hours creating Valentine holders out of white paper lunch sacks. Pink, red and white construction paper hearts, glitter and markers turned regular students into brilliant, crafty artists! Shopping for Valentine cards was quite an event. Looney Toons, Disney characters or something else? So many choices! When we got home, it was time to begin the time-consuming labor of love to choose a card specifically for each classmate (at least 20). Then we had to sign them and carefully print their names on the small envelopes. It was exhausting, but fun, and it was worth all the work! Does anyone else have similar memories of preparing for your class Valentine's Day festivities?
