‘’I think that Hallmark overruns and inflates many holidays just to make money, and Valentine's Day is one of them."

--James Grotelueschen, freshman

‘’Valentine's Day is a holiday that is meant to show affection to another person, but the card companies have changed several holidays to their advantage by making movies and cards. They have changed what Valentine's Day truly is by making it less special to receive a card from them.’’

--Luke Eisenmann, 7th grader  

“My opinion of Valentine's Day is that it can be more than just love for a significant other. Showing that you care about others is the true meaning, in my opinion. Valentine's Day is all about showing that you really do keep others in your thoughts.”

-Sydney Reeves, sophomore
