The Postal Service has forged “Community Connection,” with a community partnership for elementary educators across the country.
Community Connection provides schools with the resources of more than 32,700 Post Offices, the Postal Service’s archive of American history and culture, and new tools for teaching primary school students through stamps. It offers extensive and significant curriculum-based tools that will benefit educators and advance student achievement at the primary level.
The Postal Service will provide elementary schools with an oversized "School Days and American Ways” classroom calendar filled with American history, lesson plan suggestions and graphics. Also included are tips for developing extracurricular stamp-collecting hobbies, stamp-related articles and images published online and in children’s educational periodicals. Schools will also have the opportunity for organized educational field trips to local Post Offices and time-released and curriculum-coordinated educator kits.
USPS is currently taking orders for the School Days and American Ways Calendar. To order, call 800 STAMP-24 or go to usps.com.
