No
commercially printed postcards will be accepted or returned. All
cards must be hand designed.
Cards
may
be sent after Sept. 20, 2019 and postmarked before Dec 20, 2019.
Teachers:
Please check your students' addresses on the postcard. Many cards
are not getting returned by the post office because they can not
read the address.
FAQ:
1) Can we use the pre-stamped post cards sold at the post office
for only $.35 each. Yes. This is the best and easiest
way to do this project.
2) Can we
use 3x5 cards as postcards? NO, the post office
will not accept 3x5 cards. Minimum size is 3 ½ x 5 inches.
3) We have
many students, and can not afford all the postage, can we still
take part? Yes. Have your students draw a
stamp on the post card. Mail the bundle of cards to me in a large
envelope with a self address stamped large envelope for me to return
them as a group. I will mark them individually with a fun penguin
stamp, our location stamp and then return them as a group to your
school. The large envelope will have the much desired true "Antarctica"
postmark for display in your classroom.
4, Classrooms outside the United States. If you would like the postcards returned, please enclose enough cash (US$, Euros, English Pounds or Canadian Dollars) to cover return postage. If you would like them returned individually please enclose cash equal to US$ 1.15 for EACH card for me to buy US postage. If you would like them returned as a group include a self addressed large envelope and enough cash for me to buy US stamps to cover postage back to you. It will be the same as the cost to send them to me. DO NOT PLACE NON-US POSTAGE ON THE CARDS OR RETURN ENVELOPE.
