With Valentine's Day almost here, we at Pre School needed to know how the postal system worked (just in case we wanted to mail a Valentine!) The teachers covered the basics, like put your Grandma's name and address on the outside of the envelope, put the stamp in the upper right hand corner of the envelope and don't forget to put your Valentine inside the envelope. Then, to get the full lowdown, we had postal worker, Karol Johnson, come to our classes to explain how our Valentines actually get from the big blue mailboxes, through the post office, to the mail carrier and finally, to Grandma and Grandpa's house! Karol also had some safety tips to share. She wore a real mail person's uniform so we could learn how to identify a postal worker. We were reminded that only postal workers can put anything in our mail boxes. It was also suggested that we keep our dogs in the house or on a short leash during the expected delivery time so the mail person doesn't need to worry about our pets.

We want to thank Karol for visiting our classes to teach us about the US Post Office. Happy Valentine's Day to all of you!
