Write Your Child

What should I say?

First of all, don't be intimidated! Your child will be happy just to hear from you, and a photo or two go a long way in sparking a smile from your child. Just tell your child what's going on! Share any special events: birthdays, holidays, back-to-school, etc. It's also wonderful to respond to what your child has shared with you in his/her letters.
