Yesterday, students and staff at Abraham Lincoln Elementary School put on their Valentine's-best outfits and brought their energy to the school's cafeteria for the AIP Valentine's Day Dance, leading to an afternoon filled with laughter, joy and love.

With sensory-based activities, high-energy music and festive treats, students in the school's special education program got an early taste of Valentine's celebrations. 

Valentine's Day isn't just a day for couples; the holiday is an opportunity for everyone to show their love for one another — parents, teachers, colleagues, friends and neighbors.
