I haven’t finalized the format but I think I’m sticking with February’s format unless there’s a lot of feedback against it.

Also, I know there were still a handful of February Pen Pals that didn’t get their letters yet, so hopefully they��ll get to you soon!

Format

For February, you will only get one pen pal to write to for the month, so hopefully there will be more time to write to each other. When I pair you up with your pen pal, I will include both of you together in that email, so it’s not a big mystery who you will be expecting a letter from. In the email I will indicate who will send the first letter, just to make things easier. You can then write back and forth as you see fit!

We are still testing out different formats, but feel free to provide me any feedback in the meantime so we can make this experience as best as possible.

Find us on Instagram @Shimanchupenpals and tag us #shimanchupenpals

Happy letter writing!
