Special People Visit Elwood's Harley Avenue

In recognition of Valentine’s Day, Harley Avenue Primary School in the Elwood Union Free School District hosted its annual PTA-sponsored Special Person Celebration, where students selected a special person to enjoy in various holiday festivities.

With their special guest, each student entered the transformed cafeteria filled with music and colorful valentine decorations. The lively Harley students and guests took to the dance floor in free style dancing along with traditional line dances.

Around the corner from the dance party, students had the opportunity to take a professional photo with their guest to commemorate the special evening. To assist with the event, Elwood-John H. Glenn High School student council members worked with the younger students on Valentine’s Day crafts and applied temporary tattoos on their hands. During a walk-through tour, students proudly led their special person to various rooms and parts of the building.

“It’s a nice way for the kids to connect with their special person and show them their school,” said PTA co-president Melissa Maher. “Harley is a special place and the students want to show it off to their loved ones.”
