Valentine’s Day Community Voices
Since elementary school, many people have memories celebrating Valentine’s Day by passing out delicious Valentine’s to classmates. As individuals grow older, cheesy rom coms and dinner dates become more popular activities on Valentine’s Day. This holiday has a love-hate relationship with many, as it either makes people feel loved and confident, or lonely due to a lack of a “valentine.” Whether it be the food, the movies, or the people, Valentine’s Day has something for everyone. Here is what members of the Brownell Talbot School community had to say about their valentine’s Day plans:
