Valentines For Veterans & Troops

Wow, it is a good thing I drive a Jeep Cherokee, because we sure had A LOT of lovely valentines to share with the VA hospital and troops overseas! We ended up with all of this:
in addition to EIGHT "large flat rate" boxes from the post office! It filled the backseat and trunk of my Jeep almost completely. My husband could not believe it. Of course, we had far too many touching and adorable pieces to share them all here on the blog, but here is a sampling to warm your heart...

There were lovebugs from Mrs. Hester's class, googley eyes from Mrs. Pate's class, and jaunty heart-people from Mrs. Bosch and Mrs. Henderson's classes:

These heartfelt handprints from Mrs. Sullivan's class read "Your hands keep these little ones safe." Precious.

There were so many touching pictures and messages. Boy, our students sure have a lot of love and appreciation to share!

There were also more action-packed drawings:

And there were all kinds of crafts and treat bags. These are from Mrs. Dockery, Mrs. Singley, and Mrs. Whitehead's classes:

If these don't tug on your heartstrings, I don't know what will! Thank you for your support of this project and all our character education initiatives and service projects. We appreciate the many ways you contribute and couldn't do things like this without you. And, thank you for reading! We're glad you're here!
