TUCSON, ARIZ — In an era dominated by digital communication, the art of handwritten letters, especially in cursive, is rapidly fading. However, a unique program at Adah Lineweaver Elementary School in Midtown is challenging that trend.

The initiative paired 26 third-grade students with seniors from The Hacienda at the Canyon retirement community. The culmination of this heartwarming project was a meet-and-greet event where the students finally met their pen pals face-to-face. For the seniors, the experience was equally enriching. Ellen Poulson, a resident at The Hacienda, shared how she bonded with her pen pal over shared interests, despite the stark age difference.
