Summary: Teachers and students prepare an envelope containing holiday cards and send them using snail mail to the other schools in their group.
Description:
Teachers and students prepare an envelope with holiday cards to send to the other participants between October - December. The project may be called the Greeting card exchange and students would send Chinese New Year, Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa or Eid greeting cards. Each school will be placed in a group with approximately seven other schools and will prepare either handmade or purchased cards (decorations may be included) to send to each of the other schools.
* PLEASE NOTE: This project involves postal mailings, so participants are encouraged to plan ahead to estimate whether associated costs are within their budget.
