Dear Phil,

How has your summer been? Not too hot I hope. Did you get to visityour grandparents? Did you go on your trip to Toronto as you had hoped? They

say Toronto is a beautiful city.This is my second season at Camp Bellaire. I just passed my

swimming test. Now I can swim out to the raft and also use the boats. To pass Ihad to jump into the water with my clothes on (as if I had just fallen out of aboat). Then I had to take them off down to my trunks, even my shoes andsocks, and finally swim back to shore. It was tough, but I did it!

Im looking forward to seeing you soon. There is lots of news to catch

up on!

2. COMMUNAL LETTERS

information. More than just spreading thenews, they help create a sense ofbelonging and community that is difficult to

maintain the relationship among familiesliving in some different places.
