[Patricia]

Hi Zoe. I can't see who I'm paired with

[Ericka]

Hey. I noticed my partner and I are up there twice. The first time I'm PenPal 1, second time she is PenPal 1. I already reached out first. I hope that was okay!

If your partner never reached out to you now would be a great time to try reaching out to them! Pen Pal 2 feel free to reach out to try to get conversation started (:

[Zoe]

Reminder that this challenge ends in June! That gives you a little more than a month to message your pen pal partner and get going if you haven't already! Once you've communicated at least twice, post here and let us know how it's going!

If you're having issues (for example, if your partner isn't responding) please message me so I can help you (:

You can also refill out the form HERE to be matched with another pen pal!
