Valentine's Day at GZAAT

While Valentine's Day is now associated with chocolates, flowers, and heartfelt confessions, its history goes back centuries. Some believe it was inspired by an ancient Roman festival, while others trace its roots to the legend of St. Valentine, a priest who defied the law to perform secret marriages. Over time, the tradition evolved, and handwritten love letters became a popular way to express affection. GZAAT was no exception in celebrating the tradition. Love was in the air this Valentine’s Day, with students bringing their own unique spin to the holiday.

The hallways were decorated with pink and red balloons, and many students dressed in festive colors to embrace the spirit of the holiday. The cheerful atmosphere made it clear that Valentine's Day is not just about romance, but also about friendship and appreciation. One of the highlights of the day was the bake sale, where students could buy a variety of homemade cupcakes. The proceeds from the sale were donated to a charity, adding a meaningful touch to the celebration.

Another fun tradition that continued this year was the anonymous Valentine’s letter box. Throughout the day, students dropped notes addressed to their friends or secret crushes. While some letters were sweet and heartfelt, many students took a humorous approach, writing messages that had everyone laughing when the notes were distributed during the last lesson. Both students and teachers enjoyed the atmosphere that was created in school. “I think the letter box was the best tradition. It was hilarious seeing my friends read their anonymous messages. Some of them were so creative,” said one student, while others commented that the decorations and bright colors throughout hallways were what made everything so pleasant.

Overall, the day was filled with joy, laughter, and plenty of sweets. Whether through festive outfits, thoughtful letters, or delicious treats, GZAAT students once again made Valentine’s Day a memorable occasion. The school’s traditions continue to grow each year, and it’s safe to say that this celebration will remain one of the favorites for students in the years to come!
