Lori, at Dusty Pages, has made a request for her sister, a teacher. Here is a copy of the letter from her sister, Dee, on behalf of another teacher:
I have enlisted our class in a project to not only collect at least one postcard from all 50 states but to accumulate 100 postcards by the 100th Day of School. If you are traveling to or through another state during your time off, could you please drop us a postcard from your destination? Or, just bring us one back….it doesn’t have to be mailed. Thanks So Much!
The address is:
Mrs. Carman's Class
Hardinsburg Elementary School
419 East Third Street
Hardinsburg, KY 40143
I think the teacher is saying that the postcard doesn't have to be mailed from the location you bought it. You could buy the postcard while traveling through another state, then when you get home, mail it to them. I'm going to buy one from my home state of NC... I won't be traveling much between now and November (that's when the 100th day will be).
So, if you are traveling over the next couple of months, between now and end of November, pick up a postcard and send it to this classroom. I know the students will be so excited to get them.
What a great idea! I think I might borrow it, Lori.

Makes me think of the movie "PaperClips"...in a small way. Did you ever see it? It's priceless.

I'm sending one. Let me know if you borrow the idea, I'd love to send one for your class too! Speaking of mail and traveling, you do know about flat Stanley don't you? -- One of the most fun school projects ever!! Martha :-)
Yes, our school does Flat Stanley every year with the kids in 2nd grade I think. bea
The 100th Day of School is a major event in our school. What a great idea! I will send postcards from NH and VT. Thanks for letting us know! Michelle

Whe I go to Virginia to write my exams, I'll get one from there. In fact, I'll get a couple in case you decide to do it, Bea! Love, Caroline

thanks bea! love,nat
Thank you so much for posting about this. I really appreciate it. I thought it was a great idea, too. I've known different teachers to have the children collect 100 of a certain thing to celebrate the 100th day of school, but I thought this was a nice different spin on it. Thanks again!
Lori
