February 2026 Mustang on the Street

(Olivia Tucker)

Noah Medina, Junior

To be honest, I’m just saying this personally because some female got this for me and I didn’t even know how to react. Respectfully, I get that chocolates are a part of that, but don’t get me no chocolates with nuts in it. That's crazy. The chocolate part was smooth, but the nuts part threw me off.”

(Tori Roderick)

Madison Dwyer, Senior

“Probably nothing because there needs to be more effort.”

(Kendra Berg)

Joey Killian, Math Teacher

“I think the worst Valentine's Day gift you could ever receive is... Getting handed a rose and then being told ‘It’s over."

(Yllaena Jade Santos)

Aidan Duplesis, Junior

“A broom.”

(Victoria Kico)

Kate Curtin, History Teacher

“ ‘I owe you coupon’ but they would have to do something for me.”

(Alyssa Sutherland)

Cameron Shaw, Freshman

“Definitely a break-up letter.”

(John Campbell)

Seamus Keller, Freshman

“A gift that's being re-given.”

(Addie Cataldo)

Anne Marie Wagner, Administrative Assistant

“I would have to say an appliance for the kitchen.”

(Sienna Powers)

Emma Gately, Sophomore

“The worst Valentine’s gift you could give someone is probably like a food that they’re allergic to.”

(Madelyn Creveling)

Arianna Powell, Sophomore

“Probably like flowers … I’m sorry, but I’m not a flower girl.”

(Ryan Needham)

Julie Treloar, English Teacher

“I guess something that would be a chore, or to aid with a chore. Like, a classic thing is, don’t give someone a vacuum. But for the teens, for the youth- maybe just, like, something that’s not their style because then they’ll feel pressured to wear it, but they don’t wanna wear it because it’s ugly.”

(Emma Penza)

Audrey McDonald, Sophomore

“Um… probably a book.”

(Reagan Hart)

Gia Riccardi, Sophomore

“A breakup text.”

(Eve Washburn)

Joseph O'Connor, Paraprofessional

“Probably a useless gift card.”

(Maria Valyrakis)

Olivia Collins, Junior

“A book, those aren’t fun.”

(Emanuelly Silva)

Jolene Gorman, Freshman

“Something generic that isn’t personal.”

(Kylie Letourneau)

Kim Laia, Senior

“Worst gift… probably like gross chocolate.”
