To encourage student involvement in celebrating this year\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day, a couple of Plymouth High School\u2019s clubs have organized events commemorating its theme of love and companionship.While Valentine\u2019s Day is more widely renowned for its emphasis on those themes, it is also known for the gifts many receive from their loved ones. Over the years, flowers have continuously stood as a memorable and effective way to show others their appreciation. Senior Katie Wojick agrees. \u201cIt gives everyone a chance to show people how they feel about them,\u201d she states. As a member of the Heart Club, Wojcik will be accompanying her fellow club members in their annual Carnation Sale. In this event, the Heart Club sold carnations for two dollars to students and faculty wishing to send their loved ones a flower for the holiday. The carnations were sold outside the cafeteria during lunch and will be delivered by Heart members to recipients on that day. Depending on the feeling one holds for another, those who purchased a carnation had various color choices to choose from, including red, white, and pink. For instance, red represents love, white represents friendship, and pink symbolizes a crush. With several options available, it is no wonder this sale has been a success in the past. \u201cThey think that it is an easy way to show friendship\/love and to show someone that they care about them,\u201d states Senior Elizabeth Hartman. Junior Aubrie Craft agrees adding, \u201cIt\u2019s a cute and sweet idea.\u201d As for the ones receiving the carnations, well, in the past their reactions upon receiving them have shown just how pleasing these carnations truly are. \u201cMany were excited,\u201d says Hartman. Undoubtedly, this is one affordable gift that is sure to make an impact.<\/p>\n

In addition to the Carnation Sale, yet another annual event has been set forth. Led by the Sunshine Society, a compatibility quiz has also been made available for the student body. \u201cIt\u2019s a survey where students are ranked upon their interests, preferences, and beliefs,\u201d states Sunshine Society sponsor and English teacher, Mrs. Jessica Gordon. Students were given the opportunity to complete the test in their homeroom and from February 14-16, can discover who they match up the best as well as the worst with. \u201cStudents can pay to see the results. One match for those in your grade, and another for the whole school,\u201d confirms one of Sunshine\u2019s officers, Maddy Good. Additionally, proceeds will go to this club. \u201cI hope they [students] have a good time, get into the Valentine\u2019s spirit, and help Sunshine raise some money,\u201d \u00a0Mrs. Gordon further comments. Undoubtedly, not only will students benefit this club by participating, but will also be able to find their match this Valentine\u2019s Day.<\/p>\n

Evidently, with the encouragement of both the Heart Club and Sunshine Society, students can wholly embrace this loving celebration.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
