Hundreds of students helped make Valentine’s Day a little sweeter for some local seniors.

Sequim mother-of-two Kelsey Horst coordinated the idea of providing cards for residents in Sequim and Port Angeles care facilities.

She estimates more than 500 cards were made by students from Faith Lutheran Preschool, Greywolf Elementary, Helen Haller Elementary, Olympic Christian School and Queen of Angels.

“I had an idea and ran with it,” Horst said. “I wanted to spread some love in our community, so I called a few schools seeing if they would be interested in making valentines for our seniors in long term care facilities.”

She added, “They really went above and beyond.”

Horst delivered students’ cards to Crestwood Health and Rehabilitation in Port Angeles, and Avamere Olympic Rehabilitation, Dungeness Court Memory Care, Sequim Health and Rehabilitation, and Sherwood Assisted Living in Sequim.
