Editor's Note: This is our annual Cupid's Cuties special for the Estevan Mercury. Thanks to St. Mary's School's Grade 4 class for their participation. And thanks to the local businesses for their support.
ESTEVAN - The Grade 4 students from St. Mary’s School were excited to be part of the Estevan Mercury’s Cupid’s Cuties promotion.
Twenty-six students were asked five questions each about Valentine’s Day and love. Each student provided answers, and had their picture taken.
Questions were
- How old should you be when you get married?
- How do you know it is true love?
- What is the perfect Valentine’s gift?
- How do you show someone you love them?
- What does Cupid do?
The answers are spread throughout this week’s edition of the Estevan Mercury. Local businesses sponsored the answers.
St. Mary’s School principal Ryan Jutras said it was good to be part of the promotion. He reached out to the two Grade 4 classroom teachers at the school, and they were excited to have the kids involved.
“It’s our first time, I think, since I have been here that we have got to do it, so it was kind of neat to get the responses back and read them,” said Jutras.
There were a lot of cute responses from the kids, and Jutras thought it was interesting to see when they think someone should be married. Answers ranged from 18 to close to middle age.
Students were eager to be part of Cupid’s Cuties.
“I was out on the playground afterwards and it made for some pretty interesting conversations. Kids were asking me a lot of the same questions. They were very interested when I was married, how old I was when I got married, and what it means to be in love. It was pretty cute.”
The kids and all of their family members are looking forward to seeing their pictures and answers in the paper, and it’s been a good experience for everyone.
“I think these are great things to do, and get the kids’ faces out there,” Jutras said.
