This Valentine’s Day at Springville Junior High School, the Service Learning class is arranging small gifts called Valegrams. According to Emily Bird, an eighth grader in Service Learning, their class is selling Valegrams for kids who want to get something for their friends. Jillian Boyer, an eighth grader at SJHS, purchased some Valegrams for her friends “to show my friends that I truly love them.” According to Jillian, people can express their feelings, without telling them face to face.
The students in Service Learning made posters and put them up all around the school to notify students about the Valegrams. The posters explained what was in the Valegrams: a carnation flower, for one dollar, and a candy bag, for fifty cents. According to Emily Bird, students could give the Valegrams to just about anybody in the school.
Mrs. Murray, the teacher for Service learning, said, “The earnings are used for our Service-Learning class to buy supplies for our projects that we do to help the school and community.” The class does service projects year round that students seem to enjoy.
