The following is reposted from a real life friend who knows this class. Please consider sending them a postcard. It would mean so much to them to get postcards from all over the world! Thanks.
Dear Parents,
This year I signed our class up for a postcard exchange with 100 different schools across the U.S. and its territories. Unfortunately, only 15 schools have mailed us postcards. I am reaching out to you for help. I am asking for any of you, that are willing, to post on your Facebook wall or make a request by e-mail to all of your contacts and ask them if they would be willing to send us a postcard for our class to receive. A postcard stamp is only 32 cents and a postcard can even be handmade. They would be sent to:
Melanie Morgan’s 1st Grade Class
Fort Sam Houston Elementary
3370 Nursery Rd.
Fort Sam Houston, TX 78234
The kids have been excited, enjoy getting new mail, and looking up the location on our map. We read the cards as a class, laminate them, and display them with our map. This has helped them greatly understand how HUGE the U.S. is. It is such an abstract concept and it makes it more concrete. Traditionally the postcards tell us about their state and/or town, something neat about that area, etc. Just a friendly greeting at this point would be nice as so many kiddos keep asking when “the rest” will come. I am very disappointed as I do these exchanges often and this year’s teachers weren’t reliable.
Thank you for the consideration and any help!
