MoeValentine English teacher Tara Dwyer on what someone has done for her for Valentine’s Day

“I had a secret admirer in middle school. At first it was flattering and sort of cool. On Valentine’s Day in 8th grade, he snuck a card with a pack of gum into my locker. Gum was contraband in our school so it was a hot commodity to have any. I didn’t like him back, but when I saw the gum, I was like, “Score!”….”

Sophomore Anna Campion on best/worst Valentine’s Day gift

“A break-up would be pretty bad. I think a toothbrush or dental floss would be bad too, it’s like an insult to your hygiene. I got Star Wars lollipops. That was awesome. I think the best gift would be something that’s really personal to whoever you’re giving it to, rather than something generic.”

Career and Technical Education teacher, Cara Mosley, and junior Christy Warren on why Dads make the best Valentines.

Mosley: “The best gift is the gift of jewelry that I get from my Dad every year for Valentine’s Day.”

Warren: “My favorite thing about Valentine’s Day is that every year my dad puts a rose at my bedroom door with a letter from him. It’s very sweet and I will always look forward to that and remember it forever.”
