About:

When Valentine’s Day arrives local veterans from across Nassau County will be filled with feelings of happiness as they receive handmade Valentine’s Day cards and messages of appreciation from students in the Freeport Public Schools. 

Town of Hempstead Councilman Chris Carini and Town Clerk Kate Murray invited the students to put their artistic talents to work to create the Valentine’s Day cards and messages. Students at Bayview Avenue School and Caroline G. Atkinson Intermediate School put their artistic and creative talents to work. The students used paper doilies, pink and red construction and tissue paper, and their most colorful markers, pens and pencils to design their one-of-a-kind Valentine’s Day cards and heartfelt messages of appreciation. 

On Feb. 3, students were visited by Councilman Carini and Town Clerk Murray who collected the Valentines and spoke to the students about how meaningful their acts of kindness will be to the veterans.
