Wee Deliver

April 2015


Dear Parents,

Symmes Elementary is participating in the exciting program put out by the U.S. Postal Service called "Wee Deliver."  This program is designed to provide children with real-life experiences through participation in an intra-school post office. The opening ceremony is April 30 at 2:30 p.m. in the gymnasium. The Symmes Post Office will be run by the students in Mrs. Wuebbolt’s third grade class during the month of May.

In order to make this experience as real as possible, your child will need to buy a stamp to send a letter. The stamps will be sold for a penny each. The stamp we are using was selected by our stamp review committee from many designs submitted by interested students. The money we make from the post office will be donated.

It is possible for you to write a letter to your child during the time the post office is running. You can buy stamps in the main office or send in a penny with a completed letter with your child. To make things simpler this year, everyone will have the exact same address:
Student name
Room # Symmes Lane
Loveland, Ohio 45140

There are three main ways you can help us. First, we would appreciate it if you would give your child the opportunity to earn the money he/she needs to purchase his/her stamps.  Secondly, please encourage your child to write letters.
Last, please send in extra envelopes and/or stationery.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank the PTO for covering the cost of printing the stamps.

Sincerely,

Amy Wuebbolt
