Pen Pal Program (Grades PreK-12)

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Each semester, the registered student gets paired up with another Enlightium student of the same grade level.
Students will write letters, learn about each other's culture, and make a new friend that will last a lifetime! Letters can be hand-written (highly recommended) or sent via email.
Enlightium will post a reminder on the Enlightium Parents app monthly for students to correspond with their pen pal.

Registration for the Pen Pal Program for the 2026-2027 school year will open during Student Social Week from Monday, September 7, through Friday, September 11, 2026.

Participation in the Pen Pal Program counts as fulfilling the Student Social Opportunity.
Students log their social club attendance by:
1. Submitting their attendance in our attendance form after sending out each Pen Pal correspondence.
2. Participants are required to submit at least 8 letters per school year.
3. Students can submit their attendance using the attendance form.

During the registration process, the families provide:
1. The student's name, gender, and grade level.
2. The best mailing address for the student to receive letters, or their email address.
Enlightium will randomly pair your student with another Enlightium student who is geographically distant from your family.
The parent is strongly encouraged to be involved, especially at the younger grade levels.

Optional check-in meetings will be held once a quarter.
