Boosting the signal

There is a fourth-grade class in Germany that is hoping for mail.  Here is the address:


Kaethe Kollwitz Schule
Mrs Machat's class
Zum Herrenried 1
68169 Mannheim
Germany

If you're interested, there's a longer post about it here, but the short version is that they are using this as a way to learn about geography and languages, so postcards from anywhere, in any language, are welcome.

I didn't have a postcard, so I sent a letter; from Tennessee it cost me 98 cents; I bet a postcard is even cheaper.  If you're on your way to the post office already, I encourage you to take a few minutes to fill out a postcard and send it.  It's a pretty inexpensive way to put a smile in someone's day.

Coolio. Letter sealed and ready for the PO, to which I am headed directly...

I remember studying geography on my own the year I would've been in kindergarten. Fascinating stuff. Hope they find it as much so.

Oooh, how nice. And Mannheim, too. My publisher is located there. And I even know a Ms Machat - though not the teacher in question.
