Owney's First email of 2008-09


 
Greetings from Arkansas!  Owney is finally in the mail and on his adventure of this year!
He left Hot Springs, AR on Oct 2. Should arrive by the 8th in Evans Mills, NY!
Attached is the mailing schedule for him. If we can keep as close to the mailing date as possible, all schools should be able to participate this year and Owney will be able to get home before the end of the year! Some of you may have him just a few days, others a little longer. If you want to send him earlier than the date on the schedule, feel free to do that!
Thanks to Ree Granger for getting me involved in this project. Our kiddos are looking forward to getting postcards from all of you about Owney's visit!
You should be receiving the "Owney Stamp" postcard we made this week!
Enjoy your year!

Hello from Dallas, Pennsylvania.....Owney enjoyed his visit at Wycallis Elementary School. He spent a few days in each of the second grades here, and he also enjoyed meeting our principal, Mrs. McCarthy.  We told him about our beautiful area and its wonderful history, which started with many Native American Indian tribes.  We made some great postcards and can't wait to send them out.

Hawaii
From:    Suzanne Jensen
 Owney arrived safely on Maui, late this afternoon, and will be introduced to the class tomorrow morning. It was a long journey as he was packed up (Mahalo, Cheri) on February 12th and traveled across the Pacific to Kula Elementary.
 I plan to have him on his way to Avondale Estates, GA by Wednesday!
 LaChanda, please forward your mailing address.
 I'll send a confirmation next week with a priority mail tracking # as  any other way will take weeks for him to arrive.
 Happy TGIF!

 Check out Kula Elementary’s website and see where Owney will be spending his weekend! (Unfortunately, rain is forecasted)

News from Vermont
Hello friends of Owney,
Believe it or not, Owney left Vermont yesterday during an April snowstorm!!  He happily played with the students outdoors during recess while the flakes flew.  Thankfully, today there is beautiful sunshine.  He's on his way to the sunny state of Texas!

Arrived in Chipita Park, CO
Owney heads for Texas
Mr. DiFiore's Class had a great day with Owney!  We had lots to do, but we did fit in a party!  Owney watched our high school jazz band, did measuring in Math class, read Number the Stars in Reading, watched our class sing in Music, and helped write postcards.  Owney got all tired out and was ready to move on to Texas.  Look for our postcards soon!
