Starting The School Year Off With A Smile


Our school year has started off in such a positive way. We have received a message from Tristan, an ePal from Parker High School in South Dakota, USA. The school is doing travel guides on several different countries and they'd like us to join this project.

Here is Tristan's message:

"Hello, my name is Tristan. I'm currently attending Parker High School in South Dakota, USA. I'm a tenth grader this year. I'm doing a report on Lebanon for my Geography class. I'm one quarter Lebanese. My ancestors originated in Lebanon. I was just curious what life is like in your country. I'd love to hear back from you!
Tristan"

It's an amazing opportunity for us and we're especially excited to be involved in this project because it's our first collaboration.
Tristan, you will hear from us so soon.
Special thanks to Bjorneberg Phil!
