Pen Pals are Better Together

By Joan Janzen

The Better Together group in Kindersley recently contacted Elizabeth Middle School, asking if any students would like to have a senior at Caleb Village as a pen pal. Maureen Ryan-Dobbin, a teacher at Elizabeth School was excited to report that fifteen students from the Interact Club, expressed interest in this initiative. The Interact Club is part of the Kindersley Rotary Club.

Thanks to Maureen’s time and dedication, the students finished writing their letters, which were ready to be delivered to Caleb Village. The following are two of the letters written by members of the Interact Club.

Letter by Logan Ady

Hi, my name is Logan Ady. I like hockey and play hockey as well. I like cars and science and mechanical engineering. I am in grade six and my favourite colours are blue, yellow, orange, black. My favourite brand of cars is Dodge, and my favourite song is Seven Nation Army and it’s good.

I play baseball in the spring, and I enjoy it but only when I am pitching. Mostly because they can’t aim that good and they will hit you with the ball so good thing I can get out of the way. I like to play Roblox and listen to music. Oh, and I love to ride my bike. By the time you get this I will have ridden it a few times! My favourite animals are a moose’s.

This is a project that our interact club is doing. We are part of the Kindersley Rotary Club. I have some questions for you. What sports do you like? One more, what do you do in your spare time? I am excited to get your letter back.

Letter by Sofia McLean

Hi, I am a 6th grade student in Elizabeth Middle School. My name is Sofia McLean. I’m 12 and my birthday is January 11th, 2010. Some of my hobbies are golfing, watching hockey and football, and hanging out with my friends. I have a little brother who I love very much but he can get on my nerves sometimes. I really enjoy school my favourite subjects are P.E. And social studies.

My parents are amazing even though they are divorced. My mom is a real estate agent, and my dad works in the oil field. When I graduate, I currently want to go to Harvard or Yale university to become a lawyer. I have always been a helpful, kind person and I always do what’s asked of me. I can be shy sometimes but once you get to know me, I am a great person to be around.

I have a few questions for you what did you want to be as a little kid when you were older? Also, what did you become after you graduated?

Writing letters is a project that our Interact Club is doing. We are part of the Kindersley Rotary Club. They support our projects.

Sincerely,
Sofia McLean
