Student seeks Indiana info
I am a third-grade student in Virginia, and my class is learning about the United States. Each third-grader has been assigned a specific state, and I am very excited to learn more about the great state of Indiana and wish to represent you well in my final state fair project in the month of May.
Although I have gathered facts about your state from books and websites, I think that I can receive the best information from the people who live there. I am hoping that your readers would be willing to send me some items to help me learn more. You might consider sending items such as postcards, pictures, souvenirs, this newspaper article, or any other unique items that would be useful or show your state pride. Here are a few questions:
Why do you live in your state? What first brought your family there? How do you make money? What is your job? What does your state look like? What do people do for fun? What animals live there? What traditional food/recipes does your state have? What type of music is native to your state? Do you have a state athletic team? What geographic features are unique to Indiana?
I will need to gather all of my information by the second week of May. You can mail items to me at 1411 Balls Hill Road, McLean, Virginia 22101
I really appreciate your help!
