2nd Grade Pen Pal Day

On Thursday, May 16, 2013, second grade students from Blue Ridge Elementary visited Susquehanna Community Elementary to meet their penpals. At the beginning of the year the students in these second grade classes are matched up with a penpal. They write back and forth with one another throughout the year and each May the students get to meet at one of the schools. This year Susquehanna was the host and students were able to tour the school, have a picnic outside, and enjoy a magic show by Jeremy the Illusionist. In its thirteenth year, this has proven to be a great way for students to work on writing, communication, and interpersonal skills.  Thank you to Susquehanna Community Elementary for allowing us to visit!
