In an effort to encourage participation in next year’s exchange program, Kakio sensei decided to have the ni nen seis write letters to pen pals in Canada. The only problem is that she doesn’t know any Canadian teachers. However, since I know a few I said I would ask and see if I could find a class that was willing to participate. So, if you or someone you know has regular access to about 75 or so 13-15 year olds (even a few years older or younger than that would be ok), I could really use your help. The ni nen seis are capable, for the most part, of writing fairly well in English, and I will be able to help them understand any letters they receive so I think it should work pretty well. I think Kakio sensei wants to start this pretty soon, so if you are able to help can you let me know as soon as possible? Thanks.
P.S. They usually write pretty funny stuff

I will forward this to Aunt Dawn at Rose Seton, Tom Reynolds (he is now the Principal in Crystal Beach) and Dave Simmons who is teaching in Stevensville.

I can see if my class wants to do it. We have about one hundred 12-14 year olds. I’ve been checking your blog every once in a while, it seems pretty exciting!

I will see what I can do. I have a few connections to schools.

Hi Drew,
That sounds really great, however, our school is pretty small so we only have about 30 gr. 7/8’s. Let me know if you still want me to talk to their teacher about it. Hope you are really enjoying yourself!
