8th Grader’s Letter Got Him More Than He Expected

January 11, 2019

Quentin Whitted is an 8th grader in Mrs. Kelly Trumble’s class.  All 8th grade students were assigned to write a letter to a business or organization of their choice last fall In their English class.  Some businesses responded with a letter; others responded with products included with a return letter.  The lesson is to teach students that their voices can be heard while using a formal tone of writing.  Quentin wrote to the Carolina Panthers and told them he and his family are long-time fans.  He was quite excited to see the response! Who wouldn’t want an autographed photo of Cam Newton!
