Five English 9 students in Marilyn Shardlow's class are corresponding with the students of former MPA teacher John Edmundson (a/k/a Mr. Ed) who is currently serving in the Peace Corps in Tanzania. The five girls - Cera McDonald, Greta Stacy, Charal Hatfield, Maggie Harper, and Hannah Arsenault - have become pen pals with the students from the Kongei Secondary School in Lushotoa, Tanzania. They look forward to a long and fruitful dialogue between the two schools.
