When Flat Stanley Comes to Town......

Ok everyone, remember back to your elementary school days...do you remember Flat Stanley? For those who can't or didn't participate in this great project, Flat Stanley is a character from a book who is a boy who is flattened when a bulletin board accidentally falls on him. In the story, Flat Stanley is mailed to his friends so that he can see the world (oh if we could all save money on airfare like that)

Last week, we recieved my 6 year old cousin Connor's Flat Stanley in the mail. We had to spend a few days with him taking pictures and then putting them in his journey journal to document his journey. Here are just a few photos of his visit with us (so far)

Flat Stanley celebrates Mardi Gras with me at Sacred Heart (this is him with the parish staff, complete with Mardi Gras shirts and beads!)

Flat Stanley joined the Navy for the day and went to work with Shaner

The way his teacher has him doing it, he has sent Flat Stanley out and he needs to be mailed around to as many people as possible between now and May 1st, when he needs to be returned to his school in Connecticut.
Would you like to have Flat Stanley visit you? If you do, all you have to do is spend a few days with him, take pictures of your adventures, print them and place them in his journey journal. What we are doing so that we can keep track of where Stanley is located and that he makes it back to Connor's school is making a list of everyone he is supposed to go and once you recieve Flat Stanley and complete your visit with him, you mail him onto the next person on the list. We just need to make sure that he does return to Connor's school around May 1st (he is graded on this project) Either leave me a comment or email me at kimberly.chapman@hotmail.com if you want to take part!
