These letters were written by third grade students in MelissaMars's class at Evans City Elementary School in the Seneca Valley School District.

They were asked to write about what Valentine's Day means to them.

I think Valentine's Day is about liking each other.

Hannah McCann, 9I think Valentine's Day is about giving people treats to eat, having fun, getting to know people, being nice, caring, loving, helping, and buying for people.

Tanner Gorseth, 8Valentine's Day to me means loving and caring for people, buying nice things for them to show that you care and love them.

Jacob Bunofsky, 8Valentine's Day makes me think of love, cards, candy, Cupid, and games. It also makes me think of the colors pink, red, and white. Hearts, chocolate, and gifts all make me think of Valentine's Day. Purple also makes me think about Valentine's Day. Also, arrows of love. Valentine's Day makes me think of flowers like roses, violets, daisies, and lilacs. Valentine's Day also makes me think of caring and fun.

Taylor Thomas, 9Pink. Cupid. Love. Flowers. Rings. Roses. Cards. Candy. Hearts. Red arrows.
