By clicking submit I agree to maintain a positive and healthy relationship with my elementary school pen pal and the K-grams organizers within my residence hall. I understand that this commitment is year-long (two terms) and, in addition to writing all of my letters on time, will attend at least one classroom project and try to attend Kids-Fair. I know that if I fail to meet these commitments, I will be removed from K-grams.
