    Dear Class,

    Did you know that King Henry VII from England officially made February 14th Valentine's Day? 2012 minus 1537, the year it became official, equals how many years we have been celebrating it. I hope you like the fact I've shared.

    See you in class,
    Nate

      Dear Nate,

      I found how many years we have all celebrated Valentine's Day. The first thing I did is subtract 2012 and 1537, and I got the answer 475.

      Best wishes,
      Francesca

    Dear class,

    Valentine's Day is honored by a Christian named Valentinus. We celebrate it for our loved ones. What I like to do on Valentine's Day is celebrate it with my family and also pass out valentines at school.

    See you soon,
    Hayley

    P.S. I wish you a very Happy Valentines Day, Oliver I also wish you a very happy birthday.

    Dear Class,

    My favorite way of celebrating Valentine's Day is being with my family. Valentine's Day came from a nice cleric named Valentine who died long ago.

    Sincerely,
    Josh

    Dear Mrs.Ranney and class,
    My favorite thing about Valentines Day is that we get to spend time and love with our family and friends. After school I went to a fancy restaurant where we get to dance with our family.

    See you later,
    Vanessa
