Posted by Karen Stamp on 7/07/08 Ollie’s Travels 2008-2009 (This project combines a postcard exchange and a traveling buddy!) ALASKA and WEST VIRGINIA… we need you!! Our project centers around a stuffed puppy named Ollie! He wants to travel across the country meeting children from each state. We are looking for a participating class from EACH OF THE 50 STATES! Ollie is based on the story of a real dog named Owney that was adopted by Postal workers in the late 1800's. He traveled around the country on trains from post office to post office. NEW THIS YEAR… Ollie will race his brother Oscar, to see who can visit 25 states first! Both collie puppies will be traveling at the same time (one east to west, and the other west to east). They will have time to visit each class for ONE DAY ONLY. Be sure to pack a ton of fun into your special day with Ollie or Oscar! We want to hurry them along on their journey so they can race across the United States and visit all 50 states before school lets out for summer!! Each class will send a postcard to the other 49 classes after Ollie or Oscar has visited. Include at least one paragraph about your state so we can learn about where you live (large labels work great). Please mail your postcards within one week of his visit. To keep all project members (and classes) up-to-date with Ollie and Oscar’s adventures, please send 1-2 paragraphs to me by email describing what your class did with Ollie or Oscar. Include digital pictures and/or links to your classroom or school web pages! I will add this to the online travel journal, so all classes can keep track of their travels! Here’s a quick summary: ++1 day visit from stuffed collie puppy (either Ollie or his twin brother Oscar)... mailed either same day or next day (labels provided)--with delivery confirmation/package tracker emailed to me ++chance for your class to sign "Friends' Journal" and add optional souvenir to his box ++postcard exchange (with all 50 participants) ++books about US Postal Mascot, Owney included in project folder ++journal entry and photos emailed to me and posted on online journal/website ++LOTS of fun and learning for teachers and students!!
