Since April of last year, Green Tech students have been steadily crafting letter packets, for a local\u00a0group called \u201cLove Letters for Literacy\u201d.<\/p>\n

From their website:<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>Love Letters for Literacy is a service organization that makes kids LOVE LEARNING THE LETTERS OF THE ALPHABET! By providing\u00a0pre-readers from lower income neighborhoods with packets of handmade letters and teaching their family to play games with the letters, these children are more likely to start reading at a younger age. Love Letters packets engages families to make\u00a0learning letters into a game. \u00a0Each child also gets to select a bag of books to take home to keep! \u00a0Love Letters\u00a0promote literacy while encouraging a lifelong love of reading!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/em><\/p>\n

The Love Letters project is an ideal example of the kind of community involvement we are looking for at Green Tech Activity Lab. Our students are able to put their cutting\/pasting\/laminating\/assembly skills to use in a real world application, and for a great cause! Their hard work has inspired many other schools and organizations to get involved! For more information, and to see some of our handiwork \u201cin action\u201d please visit the Love Letters for Literacy website!<\/p>\n
