We asked that 8th graders and 7-2 students write letters and we would deliver them to a secret pen pal in the other houses. We have not yet received enough letters to get this started. So, for the rest of this week we will welcome letters from any student- in any house who would like to write to a secret pen pal. Please deliver your letter to the box near the guidance office- put on the outside of the letter "to any girl" or "to any boy." Sign the letter with the number your home base teacher assigned to you. When you get a return letter, we will deliver it to you based on your number. Get started! Write your first letter introducing yourself. Remember- there will be a celebration where you get to meet your pen pal after six weeks of exchanging letters.
