| POSTMASTER
NANCY GOSCH AND THE STAFF OF THE LOCAL POST OFFICE PETITIONED THE
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE FOR A SPECIAL ONE-DAY CANCELLATION
STAMP IN HONOR OF ELWOOOD’S 25TH BIRTHDAY. THE POST OFFICE
STAFF CAME TO OUR SCHOOL AND THREW A BIRTHDAY BASH FOR ALL THE STUDENTS
IN THE BUILDING. THEY BROUGHT CAKE AND PUNCH FOR 325 CHILDREN, AND
ALSO GAVE EACH CHILD A SPECIAL POST CARD OF ELWOOD AND A STAMP (DONATED
BY OUR PARENT’S CLUB) ON WHICH TO PUT THE ELWOOD CANCELLATION.
EVERY CHILD’S STAMP WAS CANCELLED THAT AFTERNOON AT THE PARTY
AND THEN THE ARTIST THAT DID THE CANCELLATION, JOHN GRAGERT, TOOK
THE TIME TO PERSONALLY SIGN EACH ONE. IT WAS A VERY SPECIAL DAY
THAT ELWOOD WILL ALWAYS CHERISH. |

THERE
IS NOTHING THAT KINDLES THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS, LIKE A TREE.

ELWOOD
TOOK A TRIP TO VISIT OLD FRIENDS IN BROOKLYN AT PS 279. KNOWING
HE WOULD BE AWAY FROM HIS FRIENDS THIS HOLIDAY, ANA PLAZA, ONE
OF THE 4TH GRADE TEACHERS, THOUGHT IT ONLY FITTING THAT ELWOOD
SHOULD SEE THE CHRISTMAS TREE AT ROCKEFELLER PLAZA. ELWOOD WAS
EXTREMELY GRATEFUL, HE DIDN’T HAVE TO PUT THE STAR ON TOP.
