Pen Pal Program (Grades PreK-12)

Each semester the registered student gets paired up with another Enlightium student of the same grade level.
Students will write letters, learn about each other's culture, and make a new friend that will last a lifetime! Letters can be hand-written (highly recommended) or sent via email.
Enlightium will post a reminder on the Enlightium Parents app monthly for students to correspond with their pen pal.
Registration for the Pen Pal Program for the 2024-2025 school year is closed.

Participation in the Pen Pal Program counts as fulfilling the Student Social Opportunity.
Students who meet attendance and participation requirements are entered into a drawing for a $50 gift card at the end of the year.
Students are required to write and send at least five letters to their Pen Pal. After sending each letter, they should submit an attendance form. You can click here to submit your student's social attendance form.

During the registration process, the families provide:
1. The student's name, gender, and grade level.
2. The best mailing address for the student to receive letters, or their email address.
Enlightium will randomly pair your student with another Enlightium student who is
geographically distant from your family.
The parent is strongly encouraged to be involved, especially at the younger grade levels.

Optional check-in meetings will be held once a quarter.
