WPS 5th Grade Celebrates Valentine’s by Giving to Wyatt’s Warriors

2/15/2023

Berlin, MD – On Tuesday, February 14, Worcester Prep’s Lower School (PreK – Grade 5) celebrated Valentine’s Day. Before dismissal each class celebrated with a party, where students shared cards and treats with their classmates, or spent the time giving to a good cause.

Worcester Prep’s 5th Grade Class, along with the help of homeroom moms Jenna Hoch and Kim Kappes, spent their Valentine’s party building “Warrior Care Packages” by bundling infant blankets and books to be donated to Wyatt’s Warriors Foundation.

Wyatt’s Warriors Foundation was created in honor of Wyatt Mercer Shipe who was born with congenital heart defects. The foundation was created in Wyatt’s memory to help families during a difficult time by providing comfort, support, education and encouragement. In doing so, “Warrior Care Packages” are provided to families who must leave local hospitals for infant care at larger specialized hospitals.

For more information on Wyatt’s Warriors Foundation visit their website at www.wyattswarriors.org.

Founded in 1970, WPS is a private, independent Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 School, located in Berlin, Maryland. Approximately 500 students attend from Maryland, Delaware and Virginia. For more information about WPS, please visit www.worcesterprep.org or call 410.641.3575.
