Help me give my students stamps and stationery for writing to their pen pals!

My Project

My students are an amazing group of creative and thoughtful learners who love making connections and exploring the world beyond our classroom. One of the most exciting activities for them has been writing letters to their pen pals, a project that encourages them to develop their writing skills, express their thoughts, and build meaningful relationships.

The postage stamps, stationery paper, and washi tape I’m requesting will make the pen pal experience even more special.

The stamps will ensure their letters reach their pen pals, giving them a sense of accomplishment and pride in sharing their work. The stationery and washi tape will allow them to personalize their letters, making the exchange more engaging and fun. These resources will also help my students practice proper letter formatting, handwriting, and communication skills, while sparking creativity and joy.

My goal for this project is to help my students improve their writing while fostering a love for meaningful connections and self-expression. They are special because of their enthusiasm, kindness, and curiosity about the world. Your support will help them grow academically and socially while creating memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you for helping us bring this project to life!
