Students at Juniper Elementary are showing their appreciation for Veterans in a unique way.

Gr. 2 and 3 classes sent out handmade Valentine’s Day Cards to Veterans with warm wishes, love, and thanks for their service to our country. It’s all part of “Valentine’s for Veterans”, which is run by Veterans Affairs Canada.

Since 1989, individuals, organizations, and schools, have been encouraged to make a Valentine’s Day Card, to be sent to veterans in long-term care facilities across the country.

Gr. 2 teacher Julie Flett says the students were excited to make the cards, and each wrote a little message for the Vet who would receive the card.

The cards were send to Prince Edward Island at the end of January, and are expected to be delivered to Veterans this week.
