Happy Valentine's Day!
Students from the MCMS made Valentine's Day cards that were delivered to The Lodge at Manito for residents to enjoy along with decorated Valentine's Day cookies this past Friday.
For those students that participated, their names were put into a drawing and they, too, were treated to a dozen Valentine's Day cookies to enjoy over their lunch hour or take home to share with their families. The winners were (L-R): Drake, Dakota, Ayla, Kiera and Gage.
Congratulations and thanks to all our awesome Raiders for their help in spreading love within our community!
