Miss Valentine comes Back to School!

Loveland’s Miss Valentine, Ellie Colpitts, visited Saint John the Evangelist Catholic School today.  Ellie is an Alumni of Saint Johns and currently attends Thompson Valley high School. Ellie visited with students in K-4^th grade, reading stories and answering their many questions.  She then spoke to the older students in 5^th through 8^th grade. Ellie spoke eloquently about the value of giving back to the community you grow up in. Ellie herself was born and raised in Loveland Colorado. She began Preschool at Saint Johns and continued through the 8^th grade. She will be graduating from Thompson Valley High School this spring and heading to The University of Colorado in Colorado Springs.

At the end of the last session she kept the eighth grade class a little longer to talk about the transition to high school, and the best way to get adjusted to all of the new classes and teachers. There were many questions by students, and Ellie patiently answered each one. Saint John the Evangelist Catholic School joins other Catholic Schools around the nation celebrating Catholic Schools Week. Having alumni visit our school is perhaps the very best celebration of Catholic Schools Week.
