Favor -- Son needs postcards for school

My middle son is in the 3rd grade and is studying geography. They are trying to get postcards from each of the 50 states and as many foreign countries that they can. If anyone can send a postcard to his school, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

Send to:

I wonder if they make postcards in Connecticut. I'll look if you need one.

I believe they're going to be doing this throughout the year and learn about the different places as the postcards come in.

Thanks.

Fred

Thanks everyone. I figure they should start hitting the school on Monday or Tuesday.

I hope it's a competition because it seems like your soon is going to win.

It's not a competition. I guess it could be bragging rights but these really aren't the things that 3rd graders generally brag about.

My son said a bunch of cards came today. I think the teacher may have been saving them for today. But anyway, he said that Hawaii, Texas, AZ, WA, and a bunch more but he couldn't remember them all.

Thanks to all that sent them.

Another one coming in from southwestern France. I wrote in French to add a little exotic touch

Thanks Timo.

He has told me that there are lots of cards coming in and he can usually only remember a few of the places. I'm not sure how many days per week they work on this.

Many thanks to those that have sent one.

WA was me. I'm travelling next week and I'll send cards from DC and Miami for sure and if I get a chance, I'll grab one from Maryland and Virginia as well. My French is merde, but I'll write the Miami card in Spanish to make it exotic!
