Fourth grade students at Dent offered some ‘Expressions of Love’ to others in need for Valentine’s Day, opening up their hearts to those less fortunate. For the students, it was a concrete way to give back and, for the recipients, a welcome gesture of love on a holiday that celebrates that emotion. Collections in teacher Whitney Turner’s class were turned over to Jan Miller from the Center for a Non Violent Community out of Sonora and Lorrie Herrera of St. Mary’s Dining Room in Stockton.
