You are Loved

This actually turned out to be 1 student who wishes to remain anonymous. These are individually hand written origami hearts that this person started working on back in September. This person has been secretly storing them in their closet at home to surprise everyone today. Source (Original post)


I missed this story:

A student who wanted to remain anonymous took it upon herself to make sure everyone had something on this day dedicated to love. So she started working back in September, carefully folding hundreds of colorful origami hearts -- one for each student. Her hard work became public this morning as each student walked in today to find a heart hanging from their lockers. 
Troy High School principal, Katherine Weaver, said not only did every student get a heart, but the person behind it all wrote a message on each "you are loved." Weaver said the student who created the hearts had help hanging them all up on the lockers after school on Monday. The school posted about the act of kindness on its Facebook page, getting hundreds of shares, likes and comments. Weaver said many students don't use their lockers daily, but today many couldn't wait to get to theirs and find their Valentine.
1300 origami Valentines!

If you love someone, set her free.....

....if she flies back to you.....



Spinning Heart










Love is in the Air

I realize the coach in the video has a weak release; but If anyone has any advice for me on model shaping itself- the steepness of the dihedral angle of the wings or whether the rear elevators should be gently curled, etc., let me know.  

Maybe I was just tossing around a bad, defective love note.

Happy Valentine's Day!

A gymnast I teach made me the following card:



I handed out David Petty beating hearts to my Thursday class; I gave one to Thea's brother, Isaac, who couldn't stop laughing and playing with the origami model:



And Thea makes her....I dunno, she's made it to so many meetings of late, I'm losing count:
