Celebration

Worcester Prep’s Lower School (PreK – Grade 5) celebrated Valentine’s Day on Feb. 14, with parties, where students shared cards and treats with their classmates, or spent the time giving to a good cause. Worcester Prep’s fifth grade class, along with the help of homeroom moms, Jenna Hoch and Kim Kappes, spent their Valentine’s party building “Warrior Care Packages” by bundling infant blankets and books to be donated to Wyatt’s Warriors Foundation, created in honor of Wyatt Mercer Shipe who was born with congenital heart defects. The foundation was created in Wyatt’s memory to help families during a difficult time by providing comfort, support, education and encouragement. In doing so, “Warrior Care Packages” are provided to families who must leave local hospitals for infant care at larger specialized hospitals.
