East Ridge Senior Coordinates Elementary School Letter Writing Project

Press release from South Washington County Schools:

May 20, 2021

This past winter, Alexis Posel, an East Ridge High School (ERHS) student ambassador and senior, was inspired to find a way to connect with current elementary students during distance learning. She coordinated with the principals to determine the number of students and classes at each SoWashCo elementary school. Alexis worked with students at East Ridge, Woodbury and Park High Schools to write a letter for every elementary teacher and class. The ERHS student ambassadors club also paid for more than 8,700 miniature toys for every elementary student.

Alexis is distributing letters and toys at all SoWashCo elementary schools with the goal of connecting with and encouraging students as we approach the end of the school year. Thank you for your hard work, Alexis.
