About this Campaign
Over the last two decades, Southwest High School has offered a penpal program for our students and the students of our Sister School, Senshu Matsudo High School, in Matsudo, Japan.
With each year that passes the program has grown more robust and enriching for our students, staff, and families. Not only do we provide the traditional penpal letter writing experience, but also an evening where we live-stream with our Sister School - offering a chance for our students to speak in real-time with their penpals. Another amazing cultural exchange/experience that we provide our students with is a holiday gift exchange where our students send small, thoughtful gift packages to their penpal. The fun of both sending and receiving gifts in this exchange can be seen on all of our students' faces!
Unfortunately, the cost of international shipping has started to raise concerns about the ability to offer our gift exchange moving forward. This is a request to help us continue building friendships and cultural ties with our Sister School through a donation to help us cover the cost to ship our holiday gifts to Senshu Matsudo. Requesting $200 plus cost reimbursement.
