Valentines Travel Cross Country to Columbia Elementary School Students

Picture of Valentines and mapThey are loving the lessons a Valentine Exchange is bringing to students in Angela Drope’s 3rd grade class at Columbia Elementary School. Mrs. Drope decided it would be fun to participate in a cross-country Valentine Exchange. Her students designed home-made cards with letters about their class, which were mailed to students in 25 classrooms around the country. Mrs. Drope’s students received Valentines and letters in return and they are learning about students who live in the 25 other states.

The Valentines from students in other states are on display for everyone to enjoy at Columbia, along with a map of the United States with little heart markers to show where all the Valentines came from.

Even the front office staff have enjoyed waiting and watching for the Valentines to arrive.

Great job, Mrs. Drope on creating a Valentine’s Day experience students and staff won’t soon forget.
