Parents,

As we come back to school at the start of this year, we are excited to begin our Flat Stanley Unit. This is a unit that teaches students map skills, as well as other cultures and lifestyles. We are excited to collect letters from all over the world! We ask that your child bring in 2 addressed envelopes, with stamps, by Friday, January 11^th. Please select two of your friends or family who are likely to participate and reply. Also, please choose families who live outside of Utah, as it will add to the variety of response we get.
