Pen Pal program

I wanted to let you know about the HSAMF (Home School Association for Military Families) Pen Pal Program for both military and civilian homeschooled children.
Our Pen Pal Program is a FREE literacy based, traditional letter writing program.  It is a great way to get children writing traditional letters, a skill that is often lost in today's society, as well as make friends with children they would otherwise not have met.
Quite honestly, it has also been a great way to work on grammar and spelling with my children, without them even realizing they are "working on school."
If you are interested, or know of any other homeschooling families that may be interested, we encourage you to check out our website, www.hsamf.org Look for the Pen Pal Program under the Programs tab.
We also want to encourage you to sign up for our e-newsletter.  Penpal Tidbits is a bimonthly publication that will give you fresh ideas to share with your penpal.  For example, August 26th is Australia Day, so the children are encouraged to learn something new about Australia and share it with their pen pal.
Don't forget to share this with your homeschool group and social networks.  Thank you so much!
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know!
