Our middle school computer classes got creative with Valentine’s Pixel Art in Google Sheets! 💻❤️
Using a structured grid pattern, students designed digital heart graphics and Valentine messages by treating spreadsheet cells like pixels. While they followed specific layout requirements, they had full creative freedom with their color choices — and the results are awesome!
It’s always fun to see technology and creativity come together in such a colorful way. 💕

Our Photo II class spread the love this Valentine’s Day! ❤️📸
Students used layering, foreground elements, and forced perspective techniques to create a fun 3D Valentine’s effect. They also photographed several of our elementary classes, carefully editing each image before sending them home for families to enjoy.
We’re so proud of their creativity, technical skills, and the smiles they captured along the way! 💕

Our Spring Visual Communications class has been spreading the love by designing custom Valentine cards using Adobe Illustrator. Students have been learning how to use shapes, typography, color palettes, and creative layouts to bring their ideas to life digitally.
We’re excited to share their designs and celebrate both creativity and kindness today. We hope your day is filled with appreciation, friendship, and a little extra sweetness!
