PCHS Teen Republicans member Peyton Kirkland, vice chairman Katie Wood, chairman Jordan Peeples and secretary Andrew Carter collect letters of appreciation to send to deployed members of the U.S. military.
Teens send Letters to Troops
The Pike County High School Teen Republicans held a Sending Letters to the Troops drive in November. More than 100 PCHS students submitted their letters.
The notes of gratitude will be sent through Operation Gratitude and they will be delivered to U.S. soldiers serving around the world.
PCHS junior Jordan Peeples is chairman of the Teen Republicans group. She said the group worked together to collect around 130 letters to send to currently deployed troops.
“Hopefully the letters will arrive around Thanksgiving,” she said. “We tried to get as many letters as we could. We got them from different high school students who felt like they needed to write letters of gratitude. Several writing teachers presented the idea to their students. I personally wrote a letter thanking the recipient for their service because I feel like they don’t get enough thanks. I tried to tell them just how thankful I am and why I’m thankful.”
The Teen Republicans plan to hold a voter registration drive in the spring.
