WPS First and Second Graders Reach Out to Younger Katrina Hurricane Victims

For their community service project, Windermere Prep first and second graders wanted to reach out to students at a school in New Orleans that was continuing to recover from Hurricane Katrina. The Golden Rule Foundation in Maitland, hooked the students up with Woodmere Elementary in Marrero, LA. The WPS students not only gathered six large boxes of school supplies to send, but each one designed stationery and put it in a special folder with a pencil, and wrote a pen pal letter to the Louisiana students to let them know Florida children cared about what was happening in their lives. Some WPS students read their letter to their classmates on the Community Service Day held at school. They look forward to becoming pen pals with these students.
