Each of the letter people has a specific name and way to dress. On Monday, each of the kindergarten students dressed like the letter person they were assigned. They designed outfits at home and showed up at school all dressed up. The parents take lots of pictures and the students have a parade through each classroom to show off their unique outfits to the other students & teachers.

On Tuesday, the 8th graders rested with the kindergarten students during their nap time and then the kindergarten students received an extra recess. Wednesday was exciting, as the students got a tour of Fr. Kelly's house. The parents made cakes and brought them to school for a cake walk that happened before dismissal time. Some lucky students and staff members got to bring delicious cakes home that day.

Thursday was the day that the kindergarten students had to say goodbye to their precious letter people friends. Each student carried a letter person to the waiting bus that would take the people to the airport and then to letter people land. This is an emotional day for the kindergarten students. On Friday afternoon, the kindergarten class watched a movie and enjoyed popcorn, to end the jam-packed week.
