A 'love letter' from kind kids

A great big bear hug is shared with the campus community, courtesy of its littlest residents. Youngsters in the Dunham Children's Learning Center savored extra sweetness last week, thanks to Valentine's Day fun and frivolity, and the Bears classroom (ages 3 and 4) sent along a "love letter" in the form of these photos.

"The CLC promotes positive behavior each and every day in our center by being great Wildcats," said Linda A. Reichert, the center's director. "This especially holds true on Valentine’s Day when the children share treats and cards with each other."

The kids also put the "i'" in "kind" by posing for a few photos in the hallway outside the center in the Hager Lifelong Education Center. Reichert notes that the "kind sign" is available to anyone who would like to snap a photo and spread some kindness.

The CLC serves the children of students, faculty and staff while their parents work or attend classes. The center cares for children between the ages of 13 months and 5 years (or until the child is enrolled in kindergarten).
