Actually did this as a Valentine's Day project in my son's second grade(he is now 13). The story actually had first appeared in a Dear Abby column many years ago, which is where I got the idea(I was room mother in charge of class parties).
Every child got a list of all the kids in their class, were told to say one compliment for each, then I took them all home and typed out the individual papers on the computer.
The reactions were the same as the story. Many kids, my own son included, had no idea of their value to others. It was a great thing for them to share.
Wonder if he still has his somewhere...
