Dear [recipient's name]:

I would like to take a minute to welcome James Jennett, who has just joined our class today. James and his family moved to town from Pennsylvania, where James had lived his whole life until now. As he gets familiar with our class, school, class, and town, please help James feel welcome, and please answer any questions he might have.

In honor of James and to get to know him better, let's meet this Friday at 1 p.m. in the school cafeteria for an ice cream party.

Again, welcome to James. We are so happy that you are part of our class!

Sincerely,

[Signature]
