Spread the Love Service Project

During the week of Valentine's Day, we focused on the importance of showing love to others through serving others. Each day we found a way to help someone else in our community. Here are some of the exciting opportunities that we enjoyed this week:

Valentines for Veterans: We created Valentines for one of our classmate's Dad who is currently serving in Iraq. We mailed them, along with a box of treats, to him. We hope that he can share them with his buddies overseas and help to make their day a little bit sweeter. We wanted them to know that we are thinking about them and wishing them a Happy Valentine's Day!





Happy Thoughts Jar for our counselor, Miss Taylor: In recognition of Counselor's Week, we wrote happy thoughts on tiny cards and filled a jar with them for her to enjoy. Then, we delivered them to her and shared our Valentine's Day song with her. Now any time she needs a pick me up, she can just choose a "happy thought" from her jar! We hope she likes them! :)





Bandanas for our Buddies: This was one of our favorite activities! We partnered with our P.E. teacher, Coach Frith, who has foster dogs and works to help animals find forever homes at Operation Kindness. We created bandanas for her special furry friends to wear this week to help encourage others to adopt their new best friend! Here are some super sweet photos of the animals that we were able to help and our super cool bandanas!








Senior Citizen Sweets: Another special activity from this week was when we created Valentine cards for our friends at Chambrel Senior Center up the street. We had a chance to visit this special group at Christmas time where we shared our Christmas musical with them. They were touched that we were able to share Valentine's Day treats with them as well.







Parents' Valentine Coupon Books: Finally,  we created Valentine coupon books for our parents. These coupons will allow our parents to cash them in for special surprises such as dish washing duty, sweeping opportunities, and room cleaning chances. Parents here is your chance to have some extra help at home! We hope you enjoy these moments! :)
