[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Non American here with an 8th grader. What is the letter and what do you do with it? So confused. [/quote]

It is really just that - an actual letter.

They are made out of cloth with a felt backing and typically about six inches by 4 to six inches.  They are typically sewn on to the front breast of a “varsity jacket” or “letter sweater”.  Other patches are also affixed covering the student’s high school time.

Students are really only typically awarded one actual “letter”, and subsequent achievements/participation awards are memorialized by pins which you typically affix to the letter.  Though, there are no specific rules, and you can buy additional letters on line.  And, coaches typically will ask kids what they want - the letter or a pin.

I bought duplicate “letters” that the kids earned, framed them, and they are hanging on a wall.

The actual “letter” will be the first letter of the school name.  And, it will be in one of the school’s colors.

I will add - varsity jackets and varsity sweaters are actually quite expensive.  So, they certainly are not required.  And, they are obviously very “traditional” in appearance.  And, of course, no one wears them after you graduate from high school.  Still, I suspect they are always just one of those things you can’t ever get rid of.  
Certainly, my kids still have their’s.
