Write, Read, Write
Students in a chosen fourth grade class each write a letter
to one of our members. The members purchase a book that seems
suitable for their 'pen pal', and send the gift along with a
letter back to their student. The students get a book especially
chosen for them and have the opportunity to write a thank you
letter. This program promotes both reading and writing skills.
Coordinator: Kathy Howanek
