The Middle School 2015/2016 French pen pal exchange has started!
Sixth, seventh, and eighth grade French students just wrapped up a fall box of letters and gifts for their French counterparts in Lyon and Les Pennes Mirabeau, near Marseille, France. 2015 marks the third year that Shorecrest Middle Schoolers have corresponded with students in France, adopting penpals across the globe. Though technology may make communication faster and simpler, these students get to know their penpals the old fashioned way - by handwritten letters via postal mail.
This most recent box for the penpals includes handwritten letters in French, some photos, and handmade trinkets and treats. The Shorecrest Middle Schoolers look forward to receiving a box of letters from their French friends in December!
