Valentine’s Day is a special day to express love for others, and a great opportunity to celebrate love with family and friends, and this was highlighted at Capron Elementary School.

A school press release continued by noting that the fifth-grade classes led by Mrs. Grayson Hasty and Mrs. Sheila Roach decided to host a schoolwide Valentine’s Day Candy Gram sale.

The candy grams included a card and a piece of candy that students could send to classmates, friends or staff members. The sale raised money to donate to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

“The students enjoyed this fun activity and donated their candy gram money to a very worthwhile cause,” school officials said.
