In this Monday, March 19, 2018 photo, Karen Gunter, a third grade teacher at Good Shepherd Episcopal School, left, helps Samantha Moseley, 9, write a letter back to pen pal Sue Standlee, a senior resident at Presbyterian Village North in Dallas. Each senior is paired up with a student, and the pair is writing cursive letters back and forth as part of a unique pen pal partnership. Gunter came up with the pen pal idea after worrying that the lack of exposure to cursive, since it isn't normally part of the curriculum, would prevent her students from reading historical documents in cursive like the Declaration of Independence.
