MOSUL, Iraq – Traverse City, Mich., has taken an interest in the Qayyarah-Nineveh region of Iraq.

Since early September, three 3rd and 4th grade classes have started a correspondence with 4th grade Iraqi children in the village of Tulul Nasir. This pen-pal program sparked the interest of residents in Traverse City, who responded with boxes of art supplies and t-shirts for the children and mail and food for the soldiers.

Hey Lady, Do you know the names of the schools?
If they are charters, I would like to highlight them on our charter school website here in MI.

They need some pictures with this one. The most appealing thing about the American military is how much they love children.
