NPHS clubs show appreciation for loved ones this February 14
With the stress of the new semester and final grades, people are taking the edge off with some Valentine’s Day chocolate. ASG and Random Acts of Kindness Club are making it easy for you to appreciate your friends and loved ones with a variety of fun Valentine’s Day grams and treats being handed out all over school. This Feb.14 is no ordinary day, especially when you get to show your love for the people around you through hand written notes and sweet chocolate.
Be Mine – Forest Huff, senior, is the secretary for ASG and is in charge of the recognition commission. While setting up fun games and red, pink, and white themed decorations all around the school, Huff will be showing his appreciation for his loved ones around him with small gifts and candies. These little gifts, and especially the candy, make the day good even for people who don’t have a special other. “You can still enjoy Valentine’s Day, even if you’re not in a relationship. It’s, you know, cheap chocolate,” Huff said.
My Love – Sophia Di Stefano, senior, is the senior class president in ASG. Di Stefano has been working hard trying to make sure this valentine’s day is the best one yet, with exciting games for students and staff. “Our lunch time activity on Valentine’s Day is to finish the lyric game called ‘Don’t Miss a Beat’ where if someone doesn’t finish the lyric then they get sprayed with silly string and the winners get candy,” Di Stefano said.
XOXO – Lily Cota, sophomore, makes Valentine’s Day grams with ASG. Another club that makes festive presents is Random Acts of Kindness, known for making spontaneous efforts to make other students smile around the school. This Valentine’s Day, Rachel Hu, the president, and her club will be sending out a Google form to all the students so they can send virtual grams. “Be kind to people” is a beautiful note that Hu wanted to spread to all of NPHS.
Cutie Pie – Larkin Patsch, junior, is part of ASG and has been helping make posters and put together goodie bags for the staff. This year, they want to make sure that all the staff members recognize how important they are to the students, and ASG is trying to show that through heartfelt cute carnations, sweets and stuffed animals. Patsch is trying to share the message of kindness this coming Valentine’s day. “Treating people with kindness and having empathy is the best kind of valentine you can give someone,” Patsch said. These small but memorable actions are what Valentine’s day is all about, making friends and family feel loved. The small things are what people are going to remember when they reflect back in the future.
Love Bird – Emily Bean, senior, makes handwritten Valentines grams. Bryce Hutchins, senior, is one of the many members of the Random Acts of Kindness Club helping to make this Valentine’s day special, by sending out specialized virtual grams. Random Acts of Kindness is all about making someone’s day better with some positivity. “Make sure to stay true to yourself” is Hutchins message to the students and staff this Valentine’s day.
