Yesterday, love, friendship, and appreciation filled House Olympus as we celebrated Valentine’s Day! Students secretly sent flowers to friends and loved ones, while the beautifully decorated cantine set the perfect festive atmosphere.

Why Do We Celebrate Valentine’s Day?

Valentine’s Day traces back to Saint Valentine, a Roman priest who secretly married couples against imperial orders. It also has roots in Lupercalia, an ancient festival of love and fertility. Over time, it evolved into a global tradition of expressing affection through gifts, notes, and kind gestures.

Valentine’s isn’t just about romance—it’s about gratitude and connection. At House Olympus, we celebrate the friendships and bonds that make our community strong. Let’s carry that spirit forward every day!

Happy (belated) Valentine’s Day, House Olympus! ❤️⚡
