💖 MAECHS Students Spread Valentine’s Day Kindness! 💖

This week, MAECHS students came together with open hearts and creative hands to prepare 235 beautifully handcrafted Valentine’s cards for residents at several nursing homes.

Our students showed incredible compassion as they poured their time, energy, and creativity into this project. Each card was thoughtfully designed and personalized, carrying messages of love and encouragement.

We want to extend a very special thank you to Ms. Bazan, Ms. Bernal, Mrs. Garate, and Mrs. Duran, whose leadership, guidance, and generosity made this service project possible.
Together, we’re spreading love, joy, and kindness, one card at a time.
