Love Day prep!


Sweets for my sweet

Hello students,
We do not celebrate a simple Valentine's day at school. We want to think bigger and realise we should not only focus on couple love, but all kinds of affection irrespective of where it comes from: FAMILY, FRIENDS, COUPLE even from the THINGS WE DO!
We are very fortunate to be surrounded by loved ones and Love Day gives us the opportunity to thank them for being there, supporting and loving us.
Here is when the "Sweets for my sweet" idea takes shape :)
Each class will have a couple of captains, who will be in charge of three main things in collaboration with and under the supervision of teachers:
1) Note down the name of students willing to give a heart-shaped lollipop to somebody and the number of sweets they are going to participate with.
2) Collect the lollies with written thank you, friendship or love messages in English, French or Spanish.
3) Hand them out next 14th February during classtime.
