Middle Schoolers and Valentine's Day

It's really not what you think. I am the advisor for the middle school student council and they wanted to have a Valentine's party to raise funds for a particular charity.


So on February 13 from 5pm to 7:30 pm we had a party at school. The kids wanted a "coffeehouse" atmosphere and we transformed two classrooms into a coffeehouse. The student council brought white christmas lights and other decorations to make it look nice. Everyone wore red and black for the evening. We sold baked goods, Nescafe, Coca-cola, cocoa, and auctioned some donated items to raise money for the organization To Write Love On Her Arms. It was a really great event. Some of the students have their own band and so they gave a mini-concert. It was quite amazing! Everyone had a good time and we raised $200!

Here are some pics. I will try to put video on here too.

Another teacher helped tape these lights to the window in this heart shape!

The band "Ally" was really good!
