Glenwood Avenue Elementary School
The second graders at Glenwood Avenue Elementary School walked canned goods and non-perishable food to the Wildwood Post Office on December 4th to donate to the annual food drive. While they were there, the post office staff gave them a lesson on the history of the USPS, a tour of the building, and taught them about what happens to a letter when it is mailed. Their trip to the Wildwood Post Office ended when each student excitedly mailed their “Letter to Santa.”
