Our 5th grade class has received an exciting invitation from an Ogden, Utah, school to participate in The Great Mail Race! This nationwide activity encourages students to connect with schools from every state by exchanging letters and learning about different communities.

The students will begin by completing a questionnaire about our school and town. Then, they’ll select one school from each state and mail the questionnaire, inviting those schools to join the race. When a school receives our letter, they’ll complete their questionnaire and return it to us.

Our goal is to receive a letter from all 50 states! Students will color each state on a map as responses come in, tracking their progress across the country.

Stay tuned for updates as we embark on this exciting journey to learn more about schools and communities across the nation!
