Airehead Posted February 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 12, 2020 If you feel moved, I would love to have your help. These are some of our older students at special olympics bowling. They play hard. Now I want them to work hard.Many of you know that I have the honor of leading a program that educates children and youth with significant diablities. They are amazing and so are our staff. The older kids are working on a very cool geography project and are trying to collect post cards from around the United States, Canada, and indeed the world. I'd be thankful if you would help. Postcards From Pals Project Students have been busy learning about Geography and Maps. Occupational Therapist, Daniele, will be using postcards as the medium to conduct a fun, hands-on activity with students to help bring this unit to life. The postcards received will be used to help tie various destinations together and integrate learning of this unit. “Friends and family can live close by or far away. One way to keep in touch with other people is to send postcards! Whether you have friends and family that live near or far, ask a loved one to send a postcard to school, so we can plot it onto a world map”. Postcards can be mailed to: Mary Cariola Center c/o The Mary Messenger 101 E. Henrietta Rd Rochester, NY 14620 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddmaxx ★ Posted February 13, 2020 Share #5 Posted February 13, 2020 I would have oldest son send you a card from China but at this time he's not going back till it's over. We're setting up a small place that he can broadcast on line schooling from here. China's in such bad shape that there's no place he can stay cheaper than here even while having to pay US income taxes this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted February 13, 2020 Share #7 Posted February 13, 2020 Do you want it from my actual location ? I have some postcards from vacations that are from more interesting places than where I live, but the post marks won't be from that location. Or do you prefer something closer to my town? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one from your town but the others would be cool too. Just don’t go to a bunch of trouble. One is generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted February 13, 2020 Share #9 Posted February 13, 2020 OK, I'll send a vacation one today since I have those, and look for a more local one at the drugstore this weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted February 13, 2020 Share #10 Posted February 13, 2020 Mailed one from work this morning, and nothing attracts the attention of people walking by at work like a postcard in the out box. Everyone who walked by would notice it and turn their heads to try see it. I turned it up, so they couldn't see the text or the address, but I could tell some people wanted to turn it over, but were afraid they'd be seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just added a sentence because the card was from a place other than my home town. I just said I had visited there recently. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted February 14, 2020 Share #17 Posted February 14, 2020 I stopped at the local drug store that sells postcards, but it has switched its stock to become a Hallmark Gold Store or somesuch thing, which apparently means they can't carry local postcards. I'll try to find one somewhere else, or go with the closest I can find . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can get 60 cards and envelopes for about $15. You can make all sorts of personal cards. I use these all of the time. For this, I found a couple of local photos for the outside and wrote a brief description of each spot inside. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
