Pen Pals and Traveling Bears Wrap-Up

Each school year, Hixson pairs with our Partner in Education: St. Francis de Sales School on multiple initiatives throughout the school year. With the 2022-2023 year winding down, we recently celebrated the conclusion of two of our programs with St. Francis: Traveling Bears and Pen Pals.

Second-grade students were excited to meet the Hixson associates who served as their Pen Pals this past school year. Each student got to meet and sit with their Pen Pal, enjoy pizza for lunch, and talk about their summer plans.

Also wrapping up was the Traveling Bears program. First-grade students were eager to discover where their bears had “traveled” this year (courtesy of Hixson associates), and were thrilled to have their bears return after receiving fun post cards from them throughout the school year.
