Students at Hopkinton’s Elmwood School are playing post office after school. Wee Deliver is their postal service for students - run by students. This is the 16th year HPTA has taken applications for jobs and assigned students for two sessions to Post Master, Facer, Canceler, Nixie Clerk, and Sorter.
In the library at Elmwood, about 15 student postal workers each session study letters and postcards to make sure they were addressed correctly, cancel stamps, sort mail into boxes and put aside illegible or unstamped mail, destined to be returned to sender. All letters are then delivered to classrooms twice a week from late November - early March.
Hopkinton Post Master Carl Zagame will lead the Swearing In Ceremony on December 2nd at 1:15, delivering the oath of office to Post Masters: Zachery Krymgold, Olivia Chen, Odundo Omondi, Lillian Gallagher and all student Postal Workers.
Parents can send mail to their child through Wee Deliver using the special addresses and stamps. Wee Deliver mailboxes are located at the Main Hopkinton PO Branch and Colellas.
Please join us tomorrow, December 2 at 1:15 for the swearing in Ceremony at Elmwood school library.
