Southwest Elementary Students Make More Than 1,000 Valentine Cards for Seniors in the Community

At Southwest Elementary School, students made more than 1,000 cards for seniors in the community.

Representatives of the Fourth-Grade Student Council – with the guidance of Amy Tilley, a fourth-grade teacher who serves as coach for Student Council - led a school-wide project making Valentine cards from Jan. 30 to Feb. 7.

Students made Valentine cards at school and at home. The goal was 1,000 cards. The final count was 1,013 cards. On Saturday, Tilley delivered the 1,013 cards to Lowes Foods in Clemmons. From there, the cards will be distributed to senior citizens throughout the community by Senior Services and radio station WBFJ-FM.

“Our students enjoyed being creative and sharing their kind and positive thoughts with others,” said Assistant Principal Debbie McIntyre. “We are very proud of our students at Southwest!”
