Today was a busy day for everyone in the house -- except me. So I
decided to do some Internet research on other Flat Stanleys who have
visited Washington, DC. Boy Howdy, there are lots of them.
My favorite is the Hua Shan
Elementary School English Club
in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, who sent
their class of Flat Stanleys all
over the United States. Here is
their Class Stanley in front of
the White House in
Washington, DC.
And these two -- Flat Stanley and Flat
Stella -- work for the United States
Government! They represent FEMA, the
Federal Emergency Management
Administration. They are even wearing
their READY kits, so they are ready for
disasters.
And here are three interesting
Flat Stanley visits to the
President of the United States.
• Austin Ward, of Chillicothe,
Ohio, sent Flat Stanley to the
President of the United States,
Mr. Barack Obama. Austin
received a letter and pictures of
the President and his family and
their dog, Bo.
• Geoffrey Craft, a 4th grader at
Clearfield Elementary, Rowen
County Schools, Kentucky also
sent his Flat Stanley to President
Obama.
• And so did Aron Mondschein, a second-grader at the Jewish day
school in Hartford, Connecticut. (The Hartford Courant, October 30,
2008)
Here is a slide show of other Flat Stanleys visiting Washington, DC.
