These letters were written by students in Jill Takach’s third grade class at Slippery Rock Elementary School. They were asked to write about what Valentine’s Day means to them. More will be published Monday.

Valentine’s Day is an exciting day. I like it because all of the candy I get! I also like spending time with my family. It is nice seeing my family. It’s fun going out to places. I like the school party. I like passing out papers.<b><i>George A. </b></i>Valentine’s Day makes me very happy. It makes me very happy because I get to go to the Olive Garden. When we eat we play tic-tac-toe. Another think we do is we watch a movie. At school, the first thing I ask my teacher is to pass out my valentines!P.S. I love Valentine’s Day<b><i>Casey S.</b></i>Valentine’s Day is exciting to me because we go to different resterouts like Applebeas, eaten park.

My sisters play with me and my family just got a wii so we are going to play that. I like school valentines because I get valentines and I hand them out. That is how Valentine’s is important to me.<b><i>Arin K.</b></i>Valentine’s Day is exciting to me. When we wake up, we normaly give each other things that we made. After we come home from school, we play games together. Sometimes we go out to eat. That is what Valentine’s Day means to me.<b><i>Billy</b></i>Valentine’s Day is an exsiting day. It is exsiting because I get to spend time with my family. My family is so fun because they play with me a lot. They always cheer me up. Sometimes when I ask to go to dinner and not all the time she says yes. I have a little party if we don’t go out for dinner. Our party has chips and dip and we watch a movie. After the movie we watch T.V and we usually find another movie on T.V. After we watch the movie on T.V., we all go to bed.<b><i>Scott C.</b></i>
