I would love to join the postcard and/or leaf exchange. I know
I'm a bit late but please let me know.

I teach technology at my elementary school, so I would like my
4th graders involved with the postcard and 1st with the leaf
exchange.

The address is 415 Highland Drive, Eden, NC 27288

Please contact me.
