Room 16 received a package yesterday straight from the New England Patriots! Just after the loss of the Superbowl, kids in our class wrote to members of the Patriots team letters of support. Our goal was to offer some advice on how they might handle their defeat, and perhaps share a similar experience that we have had. Yesterday, in response to our letters, the Patriot's organization sent every student in our room a team picture and a Patriot's pencil. Also in the package was a pennant that now hangs above our classroom door.
In part, the enclosed letter reads, ".... thank you for your support of the team!...The Patriots recognize the importance of hard work, dedication and teamwork...We hope that each of you will strive to exemplify these values in your schoolwork, since education is very important to success in life...we loved reading your thoughtful letters!"
This made for an exciting Leap Day!
