POTTERS PENPAL PROGRAM
East Liverpool City Schools
are partnering with The
Orchards to create the
Potters Penpal Program.
The three P’s allows for
our residents to meet a
child through their letters
and build a bridge over an
intergenerational gap. Our
residents received over 50
letters from elementary
children from all age ranges.
Some of these letters
included drawings and
others included a photograph
of themselves. All letters
were met with a smile!
In each letter, a child
introduces themselves,
telling of their favorite color,
about sisters and brothers,
their favorite pet and of best
friends. As all children do, the
questions quickly followed.
The Orchards’ residents
partner with a staff member
to create a return letter.
What does a 7 year old have
in common with a 75 year
old? You might be surprised,
even though they are at
opposite ends of the age
spectrum... Cont. Page 1
