Stamp Day At Our School


Stamp Day At Our School
Once again the Lakeview Ele-'
mentary School is having the Uni
ted States Savings Stamp program.
Our fifth grade is in charge of it.
We decided that Tuesday of each
week would be Stamp Day.
We had many things to do before
our first Stamp Day. First we
chose a room. We will be the Stamp
Day Patrolman for that room all
this year. In art we made our pat
rolman badges. Mrs. Kunkle, our
art teacher, helped us with our
printing. We also decided to go to
each of our rooms to explain the
Stamp Day program. In English We
learned to make and talk from an
outline. We practiced giving our
talks before going to the rooms.
Mrs. Blades asked each teacher to
judge US on how well we gave our
talks.
On Monday, October 5, our class
was in charge of an Assembly pro-
gram in the auditorium The pur-
pose of this assembly was to ex-
plain about the stamp day pro-
gram this year.
Mr.. William Jameson, United
States Savings Bond Director for
Delaware, came to our assembly
and talked to us about the import
ance of buying U. S. Saving Stamps
and Bonds. He presented an award
to our school for having the second
highest percentage in Delaware
last year. He also showed us a
film called The Power Behind the
Nation. At our assembly our class
sang a song that we had composed
called The Savings Stamp Song and
America, the Beautiful which we
have learned this year.
Tuesday, October 6, was our
first Stamp Day. We collected,
counted and wrapped the money
that each ptarolman had collected
from his room. We then took the
money to Mr.. Hawkins who has
charge of getting the stamps from
the post office for US. After we got
our stamps we delivered the num-
ber ordered to each of the rooms.
We then found the percentage
for each grade and for our school.
Our school percentage for that
first day was 62.3 per cent. Last
week our school percentage was
56.6 per cent. For the first two
weeks the first and fifth have had
the highest percentages.
We hope each boy and girl in our
school will try to buy at least one
stamp each Tuesday. 1t is import
