NRHEG FCA students pen ‘Letters of Love’

The NRHEG FCA has been making Valentine’s Day cards to send out to “Letters of Love,” a Minnesota based organization which delivers cards to kids in the hospital battling cancer or other serious illnesses.

 

Letters of Lover originated in Minnesota, but has grown, not only statewide, but nationwide and worldwide.

 

This FCA group supported this program last year with their “valentines” and again this year. They meet every Thursday morning at 8 a.m. All students grades 9 through 12 are encouraged to join.

 

NRHEG junior Hallie Schultz admits that, ever since seeing information about “Letters of Love” on social media, she has been looking for an opportunity to contribute.

 

Schultz suggested card-making as an activity for the NRHEG Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) club. About 25 students regularly attend this group’s Wednesday morning meetings (called “huddles”), and so adult leaders Judy Tweeten and Ronda Staloch acquired the needed materials and made them available.

 

The resulting cards were gathered and sent off to Letters of Love last week, in time to be distributed for Valentine's Day.

 

“This is a really good way to show we care and share our strengths,” comments Schultz. “It was fun making the cards with my friends, and really neat knowing we were doing it for someone it could really help.”
