Some of Deer Park’s youngest students are making a heartfelt impact this Valentine’s Day. Kindergarten through second-grade students at May Moore Primary School recently created beautiful handmade Valentine’s Day cards to spread cheer and gratitude to our nation’s veterans. These thoughtful cards were shared with New York State Sen. Monica Martinez’s office, which distributed them to veterans and seniors in local nursing homes. 

“Through this initiative, our students are learning the importance of kindness, appreciation and giving back to the community,” Principal Tammy Alcalde said. “We are proud of our students for embracing the spirit of Valentine’s Day by brightening the days of those who have served our country and those in need of a little extra joy.”
