k Why do we send flowers on Valentines Day, give gifts on a friend ' s birthday, or order balloons when a chum does well? . . . ecause we care Your best friend just made Raider Belles and you want to do something special for her . . . send her some helium balloons to SCHOOL! A classmate is upset because he is grounded and can ' t go to the Drifters dance Saturday . . . give him a phone call and talk for a bit. Sound familiar? Our student body is known for its friendliness and family-like closeness. At lunch we gather in groups to eat and relax together. We go to the mail together. We send flowers, balloons, singing telegrams and greeting cards to celebrate birhdays, extend congratula- tions or just let someone know we care. We wanted to surprise Ms. Mc Barbara McLaughlin on her birthday during homeroom, so we got a party hat, a cake and a balloon and brought them to her, Jennifer Voelkel said. Whatever the occasion, let- ting the people we care about know that we do care about them is a special part of life. Students often show how they feel about a favorite teacher.
