About:
Students throughout East Broadway Elementary School in the Levittown Public Schools celebrated P.S. I Love You Day with a heart craft on Feb. 8. P.S. I Love You Day is commemorated each year throughout the country to foster a school community of kindness, combat bullying and promote mental health awareness.
Students were encouraged to wear purple in honor of the special day. To cultivate kindness, each student at East Broadway wrote kind words about one of their peers in a paper heart which was followed by a drawing. The activity was not only meant to bring joy to another student, but to also allow the students to practice their writing skills.
Every student received a heart from one of their peers as an act of kindness and appreciation. The colorful hearts were then displayed in the hallways for all to see, covering East Broadway Elementary School with love.
