§ Pen pals §
Students in first and second grade are writing letters to second-grade students in Long Island City, New York. Many of our correspondents were first-graders in Meredith’s class last year when she taught at the school in Long Island. We get excited when we get responses to our letters because we are curious to see what our pen pals wrote. Having pen pals who live in a different place than us is interesting because we learn new things. For instance, New Yorkers celebrate a holiday called “Groundhog Day.” Writing to our pen pals is fun because we can share with people in other places parts of our lives here in Monteverde.

Our school is sustained by donations to our scholarship fund. Over one-third of our students are on financial aid. This year we have depleted our fund. With tuition going up for next year, we need to be prepared to support all families at the levels they need in order to continue to attend our school.
Your donations to our scholarship fund allow us to retain quality teachers, as well as to buy books and supplies. Monteverde Friends School is grateful to our broad base of donors who enable us to provide a high quality education to all eligible students regardless of their ability to pay.
