Happy Birthday Maine! The State of Maine turns 196 today, and I am thrilled that I'm going to be celebrating with the 2nd Grade Class at Hancock Grammar School! It seems appropriate that they're celebrating the completion of their 50 Postcard Challenge and collecting over 500 Postcards on Maine's Birthday!

Congratulations to the 2nd Grade Class at Hancock Grammar School who completed their 50 Postcard Challenge in a huge way on Friday, March 11th! They have now received postcards from every state well before the 50 days were up! When friends throughout the country started sending postcards, it became apparent they were going to receive LOTS of postcards...

Indiana finally delivered for the Hancock Grammar School! The 2nd Grade at Hancock Grammar School had received postcards from 49 states, and was only missing Indiana but, Indiana delivered big time with 5 postcards on Monday, March 7th.

It will be 4 years before little Boone Albert Merchant can officially celebrate being 1 year old, and by then he'll be 4! You see Boone was born on February 29, 2016, at 9:30 PM at Mount Desert Island Hospital, making him MDI's only Leap Year Baby in 2016...

Wow! Since we posted this story a week ago, about Mrs. Wagstaff's 2nd Grade Class in Hancock Maine trying to collect 50 postcards from 50 states in 50 days, the postal carrier has been working overtime! At that time, they had received postcards from 33 states, and now one week later, they are only missing postcards from 7 states - Indiana, Mississippi, New Jersey, North Dakota, Ohio, Rhode Island,

Mrs. Wagstaff's 2nd grade class at the Hancock Grammar School in Hancock Maine is studying the United States and they are seeking postcards from every state in America!
