Goals
The goals of the Patterson Postal Service are:- To provide children with real life experiences in which to apply basic skills such as: writing a letter, addressing envelopes, using the mail system, and using ZIP codes.
- To provide a vehicle for students to use and develop their writing skills.
- To unify the student body through a student-centered school wide communication system.
- To provide knowledge of how mail is processed.
- To develop a sense of job responsibility as a postal service employee.
- To form a link between the community and the school (Parents and family friends can send communications to their child through the school mail system. This provides a fun way to wish students happy birthday, happy holidays, or even just send a good luck note.)
