Woman’s Message In A Bottle Found Years Later By Student In Daughters Class

DW: For her sake I hope she did NOT send nudes!

A message in a bottle, written 26 years ago by Makenzie Van Eyk as a fourth-grade assignment, was found by a student at the same elementary school she once attended in Belle River, Ontario. Makenzie had written about water quality in the Great Lakes for her project in 1998, tossed the bottle into Lake St. Clair, and forgot about it—until her daughter's classmate, River Vandenberg, discovered it this fall. River brought it to school and the teacher read the letter out loud in class and "My mouth completely dropped," said daughter Scarlet upon hearing her mother’s name from the note. “And everyone was like, ‘Who’s that? Who’s that?’ And I was like, ‘My mother.'”

 

Makenzie expressed amazement at the discovery, saying, “It was memorable to do something like that, throw something and think maybe someone will find it later.” The message even surprised her former teacher, Roland St. Pierre, who created the assignment decades ago, remarking, "I had forgotten all about it."
