Since February is the month of love, StuCo and Hope Squad joined forces to spread love and joy around the school. The Student Congress wrote every student’s full name on a red heart and placed it around on lockers of both A and B buildings. Additionally, The Hope Squad added their touch to this gesture by adding pink hearts around the school with motivating and uplifting messages.
“The hearts around the school are so sweet and make everyone feel noticed and loved,” senior Maddie Griffith said.
Initially, students go around the school and try to find their beloved friends’ names. Once they are found, they’re encouraged to give these hearts to their friends or anyone who could use some extra love. This gesture may be small but not many people receive gestures of affection. It reminds people that they are thought about and noticed by their loved ones.
“As one of the people who hung up the hearts, it made me feel so great to spread love and positivity to everyone,” senior Lauren Utech said.
Hope Squad’s pink hearts scattered around the school serve as a reminder that kindness and love is everywhere. Each heart with a motivational and heartfelt message helps spread positivity and love to anyone that needs a little boost in their day. These small acts of affection help everyone feel included in this love-filled holiday, leaving a lasting impression on the school’s atmosphere.
“I love seeing everybody excited to look around the hallways to find their hearts or their friends/partners’ hearts,” senior Carson Peters said.

“Sometimes, all it takes is a small something to make someone feel seen and appreciated,” senior Elisabeth Summer said. “It makes me happy seeing people get so happy finding their heart on the lockers.”
