Postcards for School Project

Where would be the appropriate place to post a request for postcards (store bought) for a school project? I'd be willing to send postcards for others who have a similiar project. Thank you for your assistance!

The text of the teacher's letter is this:

Dear Parents, The third grade students at Wales Elementary School in Wales, WI are learning about the regions of the United States and maps. To help the students learn more about these topics, we are hoping that traveling friends and family would be willing to send postcards to the children in the classrooms. In the past, the students ahve really enjoyed receiving postcards, determinig where they are from , and using them to further their learning. We are looking forward to a similiar experience this year. If you are able, please send a postcard from your travels to Wales Elementary School, 219 North Oak Crest Drive, Wales, WI 53183 Attn. Ms. Racine's Classroom

You might want to try the Postcrossing, not Cross-posting board.

Also, Yahoo Group have a lot of postcard groups. You might want to try postcardheaven (one word).

I'll send one from Georgia! Any special request? Do I need to write something on the back? If I do, what do I need to write?

Have a beautiful day,
Mello Bunny

Sunny Side Up,
We are currently on vacation in Upstate NY...Plattsburgh to be exact and will be doing some letter boxing in Vermont. We live in North Carolina, so if we can be of assistance with this project, just say the word!
Look forward to hearing from you!

Thank you, Mellow Bunny! Write whatever you want that's school appropriate - maybe a fun "fact" like the Michigan State Bird is the Mosquito, what is memorable about the area, or just say "Hi, " (that's my DS' newest trailname). Thank you for the ideas!

Why, thank you, Southern Buckeye! By any chance, are you a transplanted Ohioan? I'm a transplanted flatlander (Illinoisian), but a Yooper "by blood".

I'll send one from the Erie, PA area. I am currently doing the same things for my Girl Scout troop. I know how much the kids love it! Good luck with your daughter's project.
