James A. Dever Elementary School students in Valley Stream UFSD Thirteen created heartfelt Valentine’s Day greetings for the armed forces veterans who served our country. “It’s our way of showing our gratitude to the people who defended our freedoms so that we can enjoy the freedoms we have,” said James A. Dever Elementary School principal Darren Gruen. Valley Stream UFSD Thirteen schools have a long tradition of creating these Valentine’s for Veterans greetings.
The Valentine’s greetings were handed over to Town of Hempstead Councilmen Edward A. Ambrosino and James Darcy for delivery to the veterans around Feb. 14. Ambrosino’s daughter Clara is a fifth-grade student at Dever. Two representatives from each class assembled in the lobby of the school to deliver the greetings to the councilmen.
