12. We are creating these Valentines for the elementary students at CVE. They will receive them the week of Valentine’s Day. We would like you to send the students a positive message (not a LOVE message). These younger students look up to you and this will mean a great deal to them. Please have fun making the cards but take it seriously. Thank you.
