What better way to celebrate St. Valentine's  Day than to make an exhibition about perfect couples. Some of them are fictional, some were real-life historical  characters, some lived tragic stories, some were a match made in heaven, some lived happily ever after, some were  strictly platonic and  some knew their love was forbidden .... but, as someone said, "where there's love, there's life". The older students did some research and wrote texts about  famous lovebirds. The younger students helped with the decoration and wrote love messages on origami hearts.  💕💔💗💘
