East Meadow spreads positivity on P.S. I Love You Day

Students and teachers throughout the East Meadow School District organized several activities to celebrate P.S. I Love You Day on Feb. 9.

P.S. I Love You Day is a day to spread love, decrease bullying and promote mental health awareness. Students and staff wore purple that day, which promotes kindness and a welcoming environment, and educates others that mental health is just as important as physical health.

The day is an annual event observed on the second Friday of February. Participants are encouraged to wear purple, as a symbol of solidarity and to signify their commitment to spreading kindness and combating bullying. Schools, communities, and organizations often organize events and activities to raise awareness about mental health issues, encourage positive interactions, and foster a supportive environment for individuals struggling with mental health challenges.

It serves as a reminder of the importance of showing love and support to one another, reaching out to those in need, and promoting mental well-being in communities.

The K Kids Club at each East Meadow elementary school delivered kindness grams to students throughout the school, and they helped to “chalk the walk” on the morning of Feb. 9 to welcome all students to school.
