Letter to the Editor | Help a third-grader learn about Washington’s history

Fleur, McLean, Virginia

Dear people of the great state of Washington,

Hello, I am a third-grade student in Northern Virginia. In third grade, we do state reports, and I have chosen your state. I am very excited to learn more about the great state of Washington as I work on my report.

Information I gather for my report will mainly be from books and websites, but I would also like to get information from the people who live in the state. That is why I am writing to you. I was hoping that you would be willing to send me some items to help me learn more about the best things about your state. It would be things like postcards, maps, pictures, souvenirs, general information, this letter or any other items that would be useful. You can mail items to the address below. I really appreciate your help.

Please send information to:
