Our whole class walked to the local post office to mail the quilts to Puerto Rico.

This is the quilt package.

The package is weighed.

The package is mailed.

Here is the email from our friends in Puerto Rico when they knew the quilts were coming.

October 23, l999 Dear Mrs. Rennebohm Franz's Class, Thank you very much for the quilts you made for us and for all the children affected by Hurricane Georges in Puerto Rico. Thank you for the emails too. We are glad because you are thinking on us and want to make us happy. For sure, your quilts will comfort all of us. When the news reporter receive the quilt, we will go to the T.V. station with my Mom and some students from my school (who lost their stuffs due to the winds and floods). Then we are going to take the quilt to different shelters. We will show it to many children so they can see all the happy faces you drew to make them smile. Also, when we receive our quilt, we are going to show it in our school's library. We already talked with our friends about the special gift you made. We are going to share it with all the people we know. They will know how much special you are. Thank you again to all of you. Sincerely, Your friends in Puerto Rico
