Children from five different continents found themselves in one third grade English Language Arts class at P.S. 88 in Ridgewood making Valentine's Day cards for local veterans. State Senator Joseph Addabbo, Jr., Ranking Member of the Senate Veterans Committee, visited the class and spoke about the importance of the holiday and caring for one another, especially veterans. The students, many of them bilingual, shared their own thoughts on what Valentine's Day and veterans mean to them. Addabbo took the children's handmade cards and delivered them just in time for the holiday to the St. Albans Veterans Hospital.
