Summer Mota, a third grader at Mary Queen of Apostles School in New Kensington, looks at a Valentine’s Day card from Colorado displayed in the hallway. The students are trying to collect cards from every state.

Students at Mary Queen of Apostles School in New Kensington are feeling the love.

Third graders are on a mission to collect Valentine’s Day cards from all 50 states by Friday. They’re more than halfway to their goal.

Staff said it’s a lesson for youngsters on the reach of social media.

Anyone who would like to share the project with friends across the country is encouraged to do so.
