Noting that St. Valentines Day is to celebrate a Catholic Saint marrying Christians in secret. Minimizing a  sacred holiday for 1.3 billion Catholics worldwide, could be seen as cultural appropriation. Teach a history lesson, for older grades, on what the holiday actually is and celebrate culture and heritage.

During COVID when we couldn't share/have food in class, we made dog toys from recycled denim and my teaching partner made dog treats that were donated to the humane society on Valentines Day. The kids made really cute cards to go with it, it was a great way to spread kindness and love to our community without "celebrating" the holiday.
