Marcia Harntess’ elementary school art students at Kerr-Vance Academy recently participated in a Pen-Pal Project with students from Trujillo, Spain. The project was organized while Mrs. Hartness’s family was in Trujillo for the wedding of her son, Sean, who is a graduate of KVA and the University of Charleston. Sean’s bride, also an elementary teacher, arranged for students in her former school to correspond with their counterparts here at KVA.
The first shipment of handmade Christmas cards arrived last week and included picture postcards of Trujillo with handwritten messages from students. KVA students enjoyed receiving the handwritten correspondence that they could keep for years and show off to their family and friends.
