Heritage 5th Graders Write Letters to Servicemen


The Fifth Grade class chose to send letters to men and women in our Armed Forces who have ties to our local (Montanan) communities. Each student designed a letter format that included friendly questions like, "where are you from", "what's your favorite food", etc. Most of our students included a verse that spoke to them personally, and that they thought would encourage the soldier that received it. The letters were then addressed and sent through an organization that serves our men and women in the service who would like to receive correspondence from people they are not familiar with. This organization was chosen to provide protection for our students, as well as for each armed personnel that received the letters. This 'mission' was a blessing to our students, who had to think of kind things to say to a stranger, as well as kind words to someone that defends their freedom. We hope that each soldier that received a letter was as blessed as our Fifth Grade students!
