NORTHERN ADIRONDACK’S VALENTINES
Key Club members and Elementary students recently created more than 400 Valentine cards/pictures which were delivered to area Nursing Homes. Key Club wanted to spread a little cheer to residents who can not have visitors at this time and decided to send Valentines to Meadowbrook. The idea was shared with Elementary staff, hoping to get enough cards to send to other
nursing homes. Faculty and students overwhelmingly responded and cards were dropped off at Meadowbrook (185 items), Clinton County Nursing Home (100), CVPH Skilled Nursing (70), and Vilas Home (50). Key Club created 125 cards and the Elementary students made 280! Special thanks to Ms. Latrell and her art students for a beautiful variety of cards and the Valentine box as well as to Ms. Vanier, Mrs. White, Mrs. Matthews, and Mrs. Spoor for their classroom contributions. Pictures below are of two Key Clubbers and their creations, cards made by Key Club, and the many Valentines and box from Elementary students. -Northern Adirondack Key Club
