Dear  Laszlo and Patty,I am sorry for the late reply as I am extremely busy for preparing for thenew semester.  I am excited to join in the bookmark project with you. Lastyear my school joined in this project and has got exchanging bookmark witha middle school in Maryland of the States.  This year the day will bechanged to a month.  I am going to use the month of October to introducevarious library programs to all the students.  May we also share theseprograms with each other so that we can promote some popular programs forthe students?  I am going to integrate this project with Visual Artteachers as they will have a lesson of drawing facial images, so I amgoing to teach students to find articles and books about the ChineseOlympic gold medal heroes and they will draw those heroes on the bookmarksand introducing the personal details of those heroes too.  As our studentsare Chinese, I think this topic would be relevant to them.  What are yourideas of your bookmark project?Since I want to put this project into students' curriculum, we may startat the end of October and probably you will receive the bookmarks inNovember.  Can you think of some follow up work after this bookmarkexchange?  Thanks for your sharing!

Best regards,Sarah HoTeacher LibrarianCreative Secondary School,No. 3, Pung Loi Road, Tseung Kwan O, S.K.Hong Kong
