Since the beginning of September, third-grade students in Ann Marie Byrnes’ and Jeanie Mullins’ classes at Deauville Gardens and Great Neck Road elementary schools, both in Copiague, have been pen pals corresponding through handwritten letters and pictures. To celebrate the holiday season, the two classes met for the first time and participated in getting-to-know-you activities. Students culminated the meeting by working with their pen pals to create snowmen ornaments. The students in Mrs. Byrnes class will visit Mrs. Mullins’ class at Great Neck Road in the spring to celebrate a successful year as pen pals.
