"Valentines for Veterans" Submissions Due February 8th!
Mr. Desiderio's Kindergarten and 1st grade class, at Horizons, participated in Congressman Pat Ryan's inaugural "Valentines for Veterans" program. The children were honored and excited to make the cards for our servicemen and women.
As a reminder, Congressman Pat Ryan will be hosting his innaugural “Valentines for Veterans” program. He is encouraging schools, community organizations and individuals, throughout the 18th Congressional District, to create a Valentine’s Day greeting card that will be distributed to local veterans.
With your help, we will deliver valentines to veterans at the Castle Point VA Hospital in Wappingers Falls and additional locations around the district. Now more than ever, it is important for us to come together and celebrate our veterans’ service to our country. Many have been separated from families and friends and a simple friendly greeting goes a long way.
Valentine’s Day greetings may be mailed or dropped off to the Congressman’s District office at 256 Clinton Avenue in Kingston, between the hours of 9:00AM and 5:00PM, Monday to Friday, through February 8th, 2023. If you need additional information about the “Valentines for Veterans” program, please contact our District office at (845) 443-2930.
Any educators coordinating this effort in their classroom or building should contact a member of the Communications team (communications@necsd.net) with details to photograph the process and/or final product of your efforts!
We sincerely thank you for your participation in this meaningful program.
