💌 Hearts Around the World is coming to SHAMS Achieve! 🌎
Our Schuylkill Haven Area Middle School Achieve (After School Program) students are taking on a beautiful challenge — to collect valentines, postcards, and kind notes from all 50 states and from countries around the world to show just how far love and kindness can travel. ❤️
Each piece of mail becomes more than just a card — it becomes a lesson in geography, culture, and connection. Our students will be mapping where each heart comes from and learning about the people and places behind them.
We’d love for our local community, alumni, families, and friends across the globe to be part of this special project. Whether you’re in Schuylkill Haven, across Pennsylvania, or on the other side of the world, your kindness can make a difference.
