A simple school assignment turned into a heartwarming story spanning decades! Twenty-six years ago, a young girl named Makenzie Van Eyk wrote a letter, sealed it in a bottle, and cast it into a lake as part of her class project. Little did she know, this whimsical gesture would resurface decades later and reconnect her with her past. Who discovered the bottle, and how did it find its way back to Makenzie after all these years? The story is as magical as it sounds—read on to uncover the details!
All her classmates also wrote letters and put them in bottles. Later, just like in the movies, the bottles were released into a nearby lake.
In the time since, Makenzie had grown up, gotten married, and become a mother. Yet, she never forgot what she had written in that letter. Remarkably, after 26 years, the letter in the bottle mysteriously returned to her.
One morning, Van Eyk received a call from her daughter’s school. Expecting it to be about her daughter's school matters, she was surprised to hear, 'We found a letter you wrote years ago. We thought you’d want to know.'
Coincidentally, among the students was the daughter of the letter’s original writer. This extraordinary event helped St. Pierre School achieve its main goal: teaching students about the severe consequences of plastic pollution!
