Students start letter exchange
FRANKFORT — Spanish students at Lincoln-Way North High School are putting their language skills to the test by exchanging letters with children in Honduras.
“Students are much more motivated to write a real letter to a real person,” said Spanish teacher Linda Egnatz, who initiated the letter exchange with the help of a Lincoln-Way graduate who enjoys traveling to Honduras to work with underprivileged children.
