We have teachers from several states (5) that exchange traveling buddies (beanies) throughout the year. The mascots are mailed in a round robin pattern about every 3 weeks. The mascot has a journal and a few things about their state that is sent to the other classrooms. We did it last year and it was very successful with the children. We would love to have an Montana particpant so the mascots would be traveling to most parts of the US. If interested please email me at mrsg1946@cablelynx.com Thank you, Sue/Texas
