The students in Mrs. Lindsay’s fifth grade history class at Beaufort Academy recently responded to a request from Delany Retko, a fifth grade student at Cascade Christian Schools in Washington state, asking students in Beaufort County for information and items about South Carolina for a school project. The students each wrote a letter and sent in several objects that represented the Lowcountry as well as our state. The class was proud to share information about  their hometown with someone almost 3,000 miles away. Among the many creative items sent were T-shirts, pamphlets, bumper stickers, hand-written journals and shark’s teeth!
