Hi all,
I was just wanting to check if anyone knows if there is a pen-pal exchange taking place at Bowie Junior High in Odessa.
My son is 15 and has receieved pen-pal letter from a 15 year old girl from Bowie Junior, but I don't know how she got his details and neither does he. We live in Dundee in Scotland.
In the letter she asks for his email address but I'm just a bit skeptical.
Any response would be much apppreciated.
Thanks

This is the Austin forum so I don't know how many people from Odessa will be perusing the board. But that is a really weird - it seems like way back when I was in high school and we did a pen pal exchange with some kids in Europe, we had to elect into the program. Anything that is unsolicited like that should be suspect.

Thanks Jennibc,
I thought it a bit suspect too, especially in this day and age.
Not sure what was the best city to put my message in as not sure which one would be closest to Odessa.

Think I will have to do that. Was checking if they had a website I could email but they don't seem to.
Thanks all

I'll send you DM, that's off topic for this thread. But check out this thread for more info.
