TCS STUDENT SPREADS VALENTINE'S CHEER
TO LOCAL ASSISTED LIVING RESIDENTS
Isabella Keretsis, a junior at Trinity Collegiate School (TCS), demonstrated compassion and leadership this Valentine’s season by creating and delivering 60 gift bags for residents of The Manor, an assisted living facility in Florence, South Carolina.
Each bag included a rose, a Valentine’s card, and special treats, thoughtfully assembled to bring joy and encouragement to residents. The student-led initiative reflected Isabella’s desire to show kindness and appreciation to members of the community, particularly seniors who benefit from meaningful connections and care.
“Isabella’s initiative is a wonderful example of servant leadership and the values we strive to instill in our students,” said Mr. Ed Hoffman, Head of School at Trinity Collegiate School. “Her willingness to invest her time and creativity to uplift others speaks volumes about her character and the heart of our school community.”
Trinity Collegiate School emphasizes service, responsibility, and compassion, and Isabella’s outreach project exemplifies those values in action. Her Valentine’s effort brought smiles to residents and reinforced the importance of giving back through thoughtful acts of kindness.
This project serves as a reminder that one student’s initiative can have a lasting and meaningful impact.
