Help Us Make Sure Every Child Has Valentines to Share

Harrington PTA is starting a Valentine Closet for students who might not be able to purchase Valentine exchange cards for their class Friendship Parties.

We will be collecting boxed Valentine cards to stock the closet for the Friendship Parties in February. If you’d like to pick up an extra box (or more) of cards when you get cards for your student, that would be wonderful. We’ll need cards appropriate for boys and girls from Pre-K to fifth grade, so we would love a range of designs. We will take as many as you are wanting to give. 🩷

Please have your kids drop off boxes to the school office, in a bag or with a note labeled “PTA Valentine Closet” (please do not write on the boxes, themselves).

Thank you for your continued support of Harrington and our amazing kids!
