HALIFAX -- A group of Grade 2 students at Princess Elizabeth School in Saint John, N.B. has been writing letters back and forth with residents at a local seniors home. Since the start of the school year, the Grade 2 class have been pen pals with senior residents at the Parkland Saint John facility. "We sent the letters off in a batch and then about a month later, we got their responses in the mail, which was very exciting for the students to see stamps and stamped letters with their names on them," said Tobi MacNamee, the students' teacher. MacNamee says she was working on setting up programs with Shannex that would allow the students to visit in-person last year. Due to the pandemic, those plans were cancelled, so she decided letters could work too.
