Question Of The Month: St. John The Evangelist School

Each month, the Severna Park Voice poses a question to a local fifth-grade class. This month, students from Ms. McCarley’s class at St. John the Evangelist School answered the question:

What is a Valentine’s Day tradition that brings you joy, or a tradition you would like to start?

A tradition I would like to start is everyone in my family buying each other small Valentine’s Day gifts like chocolate.
