Third Grade Postcard Project!

Forums:

Dear Zoners,

 

        Greetings from Mrs. Lasseter's third grade class in Woodbridge, VA. This year we are studying the United States and are hoping to collect postcards from each of the fifty states. We hope to have all fifty states represented before the end of April. Can you help us by sending us a postcard from your state? Please contact my Dad, known to you all as Fafa if you wish to participate. [email protected] Thank you all for your time and consideration. Happy Holidays to you all!

 

Sincerely,

Katie

Ill contact the big guy, and send one from The great state of Ct....before april...;)

 

Happy Holidays

Sent!

I can send one from Alaska if you are interested.

PA covered 

Oregon represents!

Northern CA covered. Judit's art also represented wink

I'm in and will email you. 

I should have mentioned the first state DE...we're #1!

Louisiana

Will be in the mail Monday. Thanks for the address we are glad to help. 

I'll try to find one with a moose on it and mail it Monday as well. I forgot we had met, Fafa.

...

Cool project. Email sent...

Do you still need one from NY?  If so I can help. 

EMOTH from sunny Florida

Colorado spoken for.

OH IO

I'll have to do it tomorrow. Is there any kind of deadline?

We have a couple of months to get things in for the class. Thank you everyone who has offered to help. Zippy your Alaska postcard will be a great addition. We need some help on Montana, North & South Dakota, Iowa, Idaho, Montana, Louisianna, Arizona, Texas, South Carolina, Kentucky. I have 14 states so far covered by Zoners. You all rock. Many thanks!!!

I'll see if Mike's ("the lotto store") has any NJ cards.

 

If not, I'll check the PO. But not THIS week. Sorrywink

 

I feel like North Jersey postcards might be limited to The Statue of Liberty and CW Bridge.

I picked up the DE postcard today and will mail within a few days. Check your email...I can work on ND out of the 11 and will dig deeper on remaining if nothing else surfaces. 

Gotta get'em all!

I think Mr. JazFish has Lousiana covered. If BluestNote has North Jerseyland cards with GWB and Empire State Building, I could send a South Jerseyland card. Everytime I find myself in the Pine Barrens, I ask the local shopkeepers if they have "PINEY POWER" bumper stickers. 

So far I've been unable to score crying

Hi Fafa,

Mine was sent this evening. I have a friend heading to Arizona in a couple of days. I'm sure he would send a postcard if you need it. LMK.

Give me a day or two please.

I'll cover Georgia. 

Heading out shortly to handle Alabama.

Cool project Katie...:) I live in South Jersey ( at the very,very bottom ) and would love to participate, I will find a cool card with farming and agriculture facts at our local farm store in Mullica Hill, NJ. I am also lucky to live in Connecticut  too ( part time)...so I will have hubby send one from there also, right now it's just too, too cold up there for me...lol ! 


good luck with a fun project, I will contact Dad for addy info...smiley

Team Katie

How did this turn out for her???

I went to 3 stores looking for postcards, it was crazy !! I guess you have to go to the shore. So I ordered them online and as soon as i get it I will mail it, Bob will be mailing one from CT too...:)

 

Thank you! Everyone has been so awesome. 

Lyn, same with me when we were in MA and RI over the holidays.. I must have stopped in a dozen stores and they all looked at me like I had 3 heads lol!

Fafa - I have my sister on the lookout!

sent today, finallysmiley

How could there be no postcards? That's an abomination! Did you try small town variety stores? Resort areas? I just realized that they probably think that people send internet greetings instead? Bah!

I sent mine too and it was not as easy as you would think to get a postcard.

Went to the tourist trap shell shop and they had some.

Gas stations and drugstores do not have them.

Tim, your package was truly special. We appreciated the post cards, t-shirts, magnets and pens. You went way beyond the call if duty and we were truly humbled. Thank you for your time and attention. 

Perhaps give us a list of what you don't have so we can start working networks across the country to assure all 50 are received?

Judit and Scarlet, it was crazy as i remember when the post office had them and or the library...but none :(  I could have driven to the shore ( about 45 mins away) but with mom falling and being sick , no time for me. If things weren't so crazy I would have welcomed the opp to take a stroll down the boardwalk, fer sure !


should be here any day now :)
