About:
Students at Central Boulevard School in the Bethpage Union Free School District celebrated Thoughtful Thursday by creating Valentine’s cards for local veterans, spreading messages of appreciation and kindness.
This monthly initiative is designed to teach students the importance of giving back and to recognize those who have served our country. By taking time to create heartfelt cards, students learned how small gestures can have a meaningful impact and bring joy to others.
Thoughtful Thursday continues to be a valuable opportunity for students to practice empathy, gratitude, and community engagement. Through activities like this, Bethpage UFSD is fostering a culture of service and respect, helping students understand the importance of honoring veterans and giving back to the community.
