The Southeast Missourian asked students at Franklin School, "What makes someone a good Valentine?"
Erica Trentham:
"A person with a good disposition makes a good Valentine. For example, I know someone who is nice to people, fair at games and wants everyone to be happy."
Jacob Fish:
"If a person is nice and polite, that's a good Valentine. They help you out and talk to you if you're feeling bad."
Codey Williams:
"It's being sweet or being special to someone that you like or love. They are nice to other people. They don't hit you or kick you, or anything like that."
Stephen Smith:
"It's someone who helps people and does things for others because they want to and are glad they can."
Jennifer Rowland:
"When you're with a good Valentine, you feel happy. They're nice to everybody, and they are caring."
