OK did I say Flat Taylor.....Sue's granddaughter is in the 2nd grade and they have a project.

this is what they are asking. If you would like to help out that would be great. A simple post card with some info, OR to print out flat taylor and take her on a date to some place in your area that would be recognizable and have her picture taken. (My parents took her to Cypress Gardens and was part of a wedding there and to some museums and had her picture taken with Abe Lincoln)

Hello!
My name is Flat Taylor. I am in 2nd grade at Whiteland Elementary School in Whiteland Indiana.
My class just finished reading the book FLAT STANLEY by Jeff Brown. In the book, Stanley is flattened when his bulletin board falls on him while he is sleeping. He is able to go on many exciting adventures because he is only one half inch thick! On one of his adventures his family mails him to California to visit a friend. Our class is going to participate in a similar adventure, with your help!

We decided that it would be fun to learn about different cities, states and even countries, by going on a trip similar to Stanley's. My class would like to receive a postcard from your city, telling us where Flat Taylor traveled. On the back of the postcard, please tell us about where you live and include any facts or information that you think would be interesting for us to know.

Please send post card to the following address:
Mrs. Schantz's Class
Whiteland Elementary School
120 Center Street
Whiteland, IN. 46184

Thank you for your help with this project!

P.S. My class would really like to be reunited with Flat Taylor at the end of my trip. Please be sure to send me back to the school by May 15th.

Sue ask if I thought anyone would be interested in helping from the site. We have members in most of the states and from some other countries. How many places can Flat Taylor make it to before May 15th.

Make a note that this ride is with the POA "WildCat"

Thanks

It's actually a cute project for second graders. I'll try to get to Churchill Downs and some other places!

We took Flat Taylor to see downtown Detroit. She wanted to go to Windsor, Canada, so we drove our car across this bridge. Thank goodness she remembered her passport! This bridge crosses the Detroit River and we got to see some Great Lakes freighters going down the river!

After we drove across the Ambassador Bridge to Canada, Flat Taylor was able to see the downtown Detroit skyline! It was very beautiful at night with all the lights on! The building with the red light at the top is the Penobscot Building. The big one on Flat Taylor's left is the Renaissance Center, home to General Motors Corp. Detroit is called the Motor City because of all the cars we build. We are friends of POA "Wildcat" and we work at DaimlerChrysler. They built our cars called the Prowlers!

Flat Taylor enjoyed her visit to Michigan. We put a black star where our city is, Rochester Hills. We also put a red star where Flat Taylor visited our cottage on the lake. There are lots of lakes and beautiful places to visit in Michigan. Thank you for visiting us Flat Taylor! Friends of POA "Wildcat"

The games did begin along time ago.... Have you graduated with honors in your Graphics Major??

Show me what you learned.... I see alot of more enthusiasts jumping on the editing graphics department. The bug is beginning to kick in... it only took 3 years!!

Tell you what, flex your newly aquired graphics knowledge and edit me with Taylor ...

I did it with taste .... This is about the cleanest pic I've done on you.
