Since it’s Valentine’s Day, I’m going to do a quiz: 1) Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? 2) What’s your favorite Valentine candy/sweet treat? 3) Does your school do anything special for this day? 4) How much candy did you eat? 5) Interesting fact (not a question): Valentine’s Day has a rather dark origin. A Roman emperor outlawed marriage because he wanted more unmarried male soldiers, but a man named Valentine helped young couples get married in secret. When the emperor found out, he executed Valentine, and the Catholic Church honored Valentine’s death by creating a day in honor of him. BTW, this is probably not completely true. No one knows the full story. Anyway, here are my answers for the quiz: 1) Not really, I don’t make a big deal about it. 2) cookies (as long as they’re vegetarian) 3) Yes, people dress up in Valentines Day colors and eat cookies 4) I’d rather not say…

1. well, not really? 2. Chocolates!, 3. Yep, we usually have a V-Day event fundraiser that we donate to this charity to help Teens suffering from domestic violence! I think it's really cool, because the event is really fun and we're also helping others too! Our school also bakes Vday cookies!, 4. not much! thanks for this really fun quiz!
