Valentine's Day Is Fun!

By: Glen Thompson

Valentine’s Day can be a hard time for some people. Not everyone has a significant other to spend the day with, and if that’s you, go ahead and click on Brianna Heyman’s article, Treat Yourself. However, if you do have someone to spend the day with, you might be stuck on what to do that day. So, here are some fun, inexpensive ideas on what to do on February 14th.

-Have an at-home dinner date. Cook your own food, turn down the lights, and turn on your favorite movie.

-Write each other love letters full of all the things you like/love about your partner. Give them to each other and just let each other feel full of the love you feel for them.

-Spend the day driving to all your favorite locations; the spot where you first met, the location of your first date, a park where you can watch the sunset. Anywhere you’d like to go, really.

-Go to WalMart, Meijer, Kroger, any store you want to, and buy all your favorite candies and desserts. Then, put together some ice cream with your favourite toppings.

-Go to the arcade. There’s a NickelWorld in Toledo, an arcade where every game costs only a nickel.  

-Play board games. You’d never know how competitive and wild a board game night can get until you’re two hours until Monopoly and your partner has all the railroads and you’re losing.

 No matter your relationship status or your financial status, Valentine’s Day can be a day for you!

It is hard to believe but the time has arrived for our 1923 Arlington School Building to be taken down.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to take down the building.

The demolition of the building will begin on Monday, June 22.  Crews will work extended hours to get the building down in a short two-week period rather than a longer two-month period.

For those interested, outside of the construction fence, there will be a pile of bricks where you are welcome to take a souvenir brick.  Bricks will only be available for two weeks and will then be cleaned up.

 

Please mark August 1st at 10:00 am on your calendar for our dedication to the new building.
