Gifts from Flat Cooper

As part of 2nd Grade, each student read the book, "Flat Stanley" and then made a flat person in their name. Each flat person was then mailed off to take an amazing trip in a new place. After their visit, each flat person was mailed back to the student and then their shared the story of their flat person. To include pictures, souvenirs, and facts.

Instantly Cooper knew she wanted to mail her Flat Cooper to Bryant and Brayden in Hampton, Va. They are the sons of Chad's high school friend Heath. We had met Heath a couple of times when he came out for Colgin's golf tourney. Finally we were able to meet Bryant, Brayden, and Heath's wife, Michele, when we traveled to Va for Chad's high school reunion and a week's stay at the beach with the friends.

Bryant and Brayden were very excited to help Flat Cooper out. They took Flat Cooper all around the history in Va and Heath took Flat Cooper on his trips to Canada and Arizona. When Flat Cooper finally arrived back at our house after her journey, she brought lots of gifts with her.

Pictures, a slide show, brochures, snow globes, and even a game for Campbell. What wonderful friends The Green's were to participate in our Flat Cooper experience and make it a great memory for all of us.
