Mrs. Nugent's kindergarten class at North Jefferson has been receiving mail. Lots of it! From across the country and around the world! Her class has been participating in a project called Hearts Around the World. Mrs. Nugent's goal was for her class to receive at least one valentine from each of the fifty states. So far, they've received 84 valentines or packages from 41 states plus Canada, Kenya, Australia, Thailand, and Puerto Rico. Her students look forward to opening and reading their sweet messages each day. This project will continue through the end of February.
