High school seniors in North Carolina spent this past semester writing letters back and forth to other seniors – senior citizens, that is.

As the semester comes to an end, the students got to meet their pen pals for the first time after months of writing letters back and forth. It started out as just a project for Davie County High School seniors in Mrs. Snider's English 4 class.
