All 50 States PUT'ers -- we need you!

You guys are the best.  I'll ask her teacher Tuesday if I can take a look at what they've gotten that are addressed to her and let you know.

One from Delaware mailed last week, should be coming soon, if not there already.

Good Luck- THat is 4 from us, don't know anyone else to ask

My daughter came home yesterday and said over the weekend the school got a lot of cards addressed to her, and her teacher told her this was supposed to be a class project, not an "Emily project."  She explained we belong to a camping club and we camp with people from all over California, and that on the website we have friends from all over the country and they're sending the cards.  I thought that was pretty cute.  She evidently has collected the most for her class, although a few other kids have brought in a few.    
 
So again, thank you!  And if you don't see your state spoken for yet, send her a card!

I sent one from Indiana today. I hope it isn't too late. I could not find one around this small town that I live in. I took a 256 mile ride on my scooter through the southern part of the state Friday and stopped at marengo cave and got one.

It's not too late at all.  I'll ask tomorrow what they're up to.  I know they do have some duplicates, but of course they're for vacation states for west coasters, like Hawaii and Nevada. I don't think they had any from Indiana yet.  I'll see if I can find out what's missing and post it so maybe someone can fill in that gap.
 
THANK YOU ALL!

Better late than never -- one from Virginia will go into the mail tomorrow morning.

This sounds like a cool project, I wish I could work something like this into kindergarten!

I will send one from Ohio and have my mom send one from West Virginia.  I will get them in the mail in a few days.

My daughter's small private school is celebrating their 50th anniversary, which is no small accomplishment for any private school.  To celebrate, they're doing some unique things involving the number 50.  That's where you come in!
 
There is a race on to see which class can collect postcards from all 50 states first.  They must be addressed to either the child or the school.  My daughter's class is the senior-most class (6th grade) and it would be great if they could win this!  If you would like to be a part of this, send any postcard commemorating anything from your state to the address below.  You can include a personal note if you'd like to either the students of the school/class or your fellow PUT camper, my daughter Emily.

Time is of the essence.   Thank you in advance for your help!

You could very easily.  You put up a map of the US and tell them you'd like to get a postmark form every state, and when you do get a state, you put a star into the state.  That way they'll learn geography too.
 
I found out it doesn't have to necessarily be a postcard (which is what my daughter that at first) but as long as the postmark is from the state it counts.  And, some of the postcards have come in with postmarks from states other than  the state the postcard is advertising.  Weird!  But nonetheless, the kids are enjoying checking the mail everyday and looking at the postcards.
 
Friday the kids wore/displayed something of 50 quantity on their shirts.  Some kids had 50 pennies glued to their shirts, others had 50 pictures of their classmates over the years pinned to their shirts, some had baseball cards, little girls had 50 foam hearts glued to the shirts.  It was very cute to see what ideas the kids came up with to celebrate the 50th anniversary.  Stuff like that is going on all year.  Their group picture this year had them standing in the shape of "50" on the playground and was taken from the roof of the school.  I bet that was hard to organize!

Yes, you assumed right!  Even a postmark is good from a state, but the postcards add some pizzazz to their experience, so it's preferred.

Hey there.. you never told us how the project ended up?
Did they get all 50?
