Make a Valentine's Day Card for Local Seniors
There is still time for students to make a Valentine's Day card for local seniors. Please bring your cards to school by Monday, February 8th. Virtual Academy students may drop off cards in the box on the porch at 1515 Mayo Ave. (Just down from the school). Let's share the love and spread some smiles!
