Valentines for Soldiers: Sixth Graders Send Thanks Overseas

A group of grade 6 advisories worked together to send 110 Valentine’s Day cards to deployed military personnel all over the world. The project involved the advisories of  Lisa Masoni, Julie Pinzás, Kate Murphy, Karina Momary, Lorena Martinez, Mark Gelineau and Melanie McKenna. The groups met to make the Valentines, which will be shipped in care packages through the nonprofit “A Million Thanks.” “Students worked for a week and a half using glitter, construction paper, stamps and patterns,” said Momary. “Each card had a heartfelt message, kind comments, jokes and words of encouragement.”

Some advisories are continuing the card-making project through March, making thank you cards to be delivered later in the year.
