“Our flag is red, white and blue, but our nation is a rainbow- red, yellow, brown, black and white… America is not like a blanket- one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt- many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread. All of us count and all of us fit somewhere.”

A great big shout out to all the students who created a valentine for a veteran as part of the Valentines for Vets program. Over the three days you created over 150 beautifully decorated cards with heartfelt notes that are sure to brighten the day of every recipient. Great job Students!
