It blossoms in darkness, and gives birth to promising pods"
-Tupac, "Family Tree"
I've participated for many years as a pen pal in the Timilty Middle School's Promising Pals program and it is a great way to connect with a young person. I encourage you to Get connected!
Dear Promising Pal,
We are writing to invite you to participate in the 24th Annual Promising Pals Program at the Timilty Middle School in the Boston Public Schools. This year’s theme, The Dream Lives On, celebrates the legacy of the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy, continues our focus on community, and reinforces our emphasis on peace. As you know, this program is unique to the Timilty and we look forward to forging multi-year relationships with our Pals. As in previous years, the letter writing will begin in January and conclude with the Promising Pals Breakfast on June 4, 2010. Please mark this date in your calendar, to be sure you can attend.
Please respond by emailing Promising Pals Coordinator Laryssa Doherty at LDohertyBPS AT gmail.com or filling out the online registration form by November 13, 2009. All Pals must re-register each year so we have an accurate list of participating Pals.
In a few weeks, we will send out a letter confirming your participation in the program and introducing you to your new pal. This mailing will also include a writing calendar and Promising Pals Writing Handbook to help in writing to your Student Pal. We appreciate your continued support of this program in advance and hope you will refer others to participate as well. We look forward to another successful year of writing!
