Valentine Kid Event

Another monthly kid event sponsored by the St. Francis Fund BEYOND THE CLASSROOM Grant was held at Felician Center on February 10th. Still masked and socially distanced, 18 children (with an adult) attended the event coordinated by Kat Tisdale and Sister Carol Piskor. When the children arrived, they were directed to the demo station where Kat Tisdale, Learning Center director, shared the contents and explained the directions in their take-away folders. There were valentines to be made, word search and crossword puzzles to be solved using “loving” words, a diagram of the body’s heart with its parts labelled and a narrative of the function of the heart.

Sister Johnna distributed a take home bag for each child that included an outdoor Valentine to hang on the door, a $10 gift card to Dominos and specially decorated cupcakes. The cupcakes were a treat from the daughter of a Lodi worker, friend to Sister Adrian Jumbelic, a Kingstree “cheerleader”.
