Written by and for teens, this book will renew your faith in young adults. “Sincerely, Room 111” is an essential guide written by those who will lead us in the years to come!

Since March 2020 teens have been challenged in a myriad of ways. They have been met with unprecedented obstacles. However, this has also been a time of self-discovery and affirmation. This book has been developed from that place. The teens who have authored this book desire to reach out and remind other teens of their strength and ability to overcome obstacles and to flourish through this difficult and unprecedented time.

The authors of this book are over one hundred 11th and 12th grade students who share in the community of Room 111 at Hanford High School, Richland, WA. They represent a tapestry of young adults, who like those before them, seek the American Dream. What binds them together is the belief that teens must reach out to other teens and together overcome the uncertainty and anxiety of COVID-19. They are teens who relentlessly believe in the strength of other young people and the communities in which they live.
