Creative Secondary SchoolHong Kong, China
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
