BREVARD COUNTY TRIAD VALENTINES PROJECT

Our 3rd grade students have been busy creating original Valentines for local senior citizens that will be delivered on Valentine’s
Day.

The valentine project is an important part of the intergenerational support program in our county and is a wonderful example
of how the Intergenerational Projects benefit the community.
