Owney The Traveling Dog 2008-2009

Jan Hodges sent out Owney this fall. He arrived at her school after school was out
I sent her the addresses of those classes that wanted to participate this year. Owney was on his way. Click here to see if your name and school are on the list.

Please remember to send post card to schools even those that join late if you get an email about their addition to the Owney project. New schools will get a slightly different Owney, but the same things will be in the box. I have only done it this way to try to make it easier for everyone to get Owney before school is out.

In Owney box you will find him wearing some pins from states ilast year. That way everyone will get to see an Owney with pins.

There is also a photocopied book of Owney by Lynn Hall. We have permission for the copying. Please make sure these copies are in the box when it is sent on to the next school.

You will also find a notebook to sign.
I hope you enjoy the project.

Please remember to send post card to schools in both groups. I have only done it this way to try to make it easier for everyone to get Owney before school is out.
