CLARK–Students in the K-Kids Club at Frank K. Hehnly Elementary School in Clark made Valentine’s cards and wrote letters of appreciation for a group of United States soldiers. A Clark resident will hand deliver the cards to his troop, currently stationed in Afghanistan. Pictured are 4th and 5th grade K-Kids members with their Valentines.
