Service Learning: Sister School?

Principal James Lee transformed our school with service learning education and initiatives.  By backing multiple individual and collective service learning initiatives, Mr. Lee positively developed our school community with a focus on the motto, "Kindness Matters."

I want to acknowledge this effort and community value right from the start of the year with a substantial classroom effort--an effort that taps into students' passions and a significant need.  I'd really like to find a sister-school that we could support, perhaps a school that lacks the materials, tools, and support our school enjoys.

If you work in a school like this and desire a year-long exchange of student letters and support, let me know.  I can imagine an effort like this as one where students can learn about each others' communities, interests, and story while also contributing to develop optimal learning for all.
