Pen Pals 4 Change
Our partner schools

Three classrooms, one mailbag.

Right now we're in three elementary schools, teaching mostly 3rd and 4th graders how to write to each other every couple weeks.

where it began

Pleasant View Elementary

Milwaukee, WI · since 2022

This is where the whole thing started. We're still working with the same teachers who said yes the first time, and we've since added a second grade level.

Southwood Glen Elementary

Milwaukee, WI · since 2024

Southwood Glen came on board in 2024. Their kids are the same age as Pleasant View's but from a different part of the city, which made the first round of letters interesting.

Your school next?

We'd like to add a classroom or two before next school year — reach out if yours might be a fit.

Let’s talk

We'd like every classroom to have a letter day.

We went from one school to three in a few years, so we don't think that's out of reach.
