Love filled GEO 16 Valentines Party

Valentine’s Day, otherwise known as Saint Valentine's Day, is celebrated in many countries around the world on February 14 each year. Originally, "St. Valentine" was just a lithurgical celebration of one or more early Christian saint named Valentinus. All the modern romantic gestures were included later on by poets. The day first became associated with romantic love during the high middle ages when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers, offering confectionery, and sending greeting cards. Nowadays, people continue with this tradition. In addition, heart shaped outlines are used nowadays to signify Valentines Day. These days, Valentines Day is a time to express love to one another, romantic or friendly love.

In celebration of this Valentines Day, GEO 16 inculcated a Valentines Party event in their program. The party last February 16 was organized by TA Gellene. Students were given mission cards for them to mingle with other students. Each of them were also given GEO dollars that they can use - for purchasing chocolates and sweets. In addition, there were group games for the students to enjoy as well.

It was indeed a love filled day. It was a very successful event. Thanks to our Teaching Assistants who organized and prepared this event.
