"SECRET FRIEND
LETTER WRITING PROGRAM"
The
Secret Friend Letter Writing program is a
literature project with the Grade 6 students of the
Grandview K-12 School and seniors. This program was
initiated in 2006 and has been successful ever since.
The student's responsibility is to write a letter to
their senior once or twice a month. They are given class
time to do this. They will write about their lives at
home and at school and ask questions of the seniors to
answer. The letters do not have to be lengthy, just a
quick note or even a card was sufficient. The exciting
part of the program was that the student knew who their
senior was, but the senior didn't know who they were
writing to. The students used an alias name. It is the
responsibility of the Senior to respond to these
letters. Students get practice in writing, plus gain
knowledge of the history life of seniors' in the
community. The senior also get information as to what
the students are doing in school. In June, at the end of
the school year, the seniors and the students meet each
other. This is when the seniors meet their Secret
Friend.
The
year-end party is in conjunction with the Grade 5
Seniors are Cool Program.
