Write This Way

Sharon High School Photography Club

A handwritten note never goes out of style yet how many of us take the time to put pen to paper? We text. We email. We call. Why communicate any other way?  Because a handwritten message often becomes a treasured keepsake. And, if the paper it’s written on is as lovely as the sentiments it contains, all the more likely it will be tucked away for years.  What if John and Abigail Adams or Napoleon and Josephine had computers? Even Carrie Bradshaw read to Mr. Big from a book of famous love letters. Can you imagine a bundle of love e-mails kept for posterity?

The beautiful photo note cards created by the 34 members of the Sharon (MA) High School Photography Club beg to record our thoughts. These works of art, shot by 14 to 17 year olds, are mounted on high quality stationery.  Subjects range from local sites to exotic ports of call.    

Use the cards to correspond with that special someone; for invitations, thank you notes, for gifts or frame them. One hundred percent of sales are donated to Hope in Bloom to fund gardens.

President John F. Kennedy once said:  “One person can make a difference and every person should try.”  These teenagers have proven how right he was.  To date, they have raised $2,000 for Hope in Bloom.

Students will sell their cards ($3 each) with matching envelopes at Starbucks, 95 Washington Street (Cobb’s Corner), Canton, MA from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the following dates:

Friday, November 27

Saturday, December 5, 12 & 19

A selection of cards is also available on line.
