Our Purpose: Our Purpose:

The purpose of our projects was to bring back the true meaning of love to Valentine’s Day. We came up with the idea of “Buy a Heart, Give a Heart,” when we found out that a special needs student at our school names Maria Rodriguez would be getting heart surgery in March.

About Maria Rodriguez About Maria Rodriguez

Maria is a sophomore at Centennial High School. She is a CBI (Community Based instruction)/ Special Needs student. Though she suffers from a disability, that does not stop her personality from shining through. Her singing can be heard from down the halls, and she’s never shy when showing off her dance moves. She can brighten your day with her smile and her ability to make you feel better is unmatched.

Difficulties Difficulties

We encountered a few difficulties while working on this project. It was hard to meet together, and discuss different ideas we had for this project due to our different schedules. This is where we had to learn to work together, and really communicate to get things done in an efficient way.

Impact on Maria Impact on Maria

We were able to successfully sell out of all of our gifts and nearly tripled our investment of $35 to $100, through our sales and

continue to remain in our thoughts and prayers.
