Students had 5 minutes to respond to the prompt, “What do you think about Valentine’s Day?”

Here is what Kate had to say:

I love Valentine’s Day, but not because of the boyfriend/girlfriend thing or kissing or love or those dumb middle school relationships. (As you can tell, I’m not in one, thankfully.) I love it because of what my family does. Every year we have a Valentine’s Day dinner. We eat heart-shaped pizza and have Sprite with heart-shaped cranberry ice cubes in them. We each have a bowl of fondue chocolate and dip strawberries, bananas, marshmallows, and then our parents give us a mini gift. We also each have a Valentine’s Day balloon on the back of our chair floating up. This year we have to do Valentine’s day on Friday, but it is just as special. I get to show my family how much I love them. Oh, and Grandparents send us Russell Stovers heart-shaped candy box filled with chocolate. I also love all the decorations Valentines Day has like the roses.🌹💕

 

Here is what Joshua had to say:

I think you buy chocolate and then go up to a girl and eat it right in front of her saying, “I’m not sharing.” And you yell out everywhere, “Valentine’s Day stinks! I hate Valentine’s Day! Now stop kissing! Valentines Day stinks!”🍖💋😝
