FLAT STANLEY AND FLAT STELLA CELEBRATE INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION WEEK
In honor of International Education Week, the U.S.
Department of State and U.S. Department of Education
are proud to participate in the Flat
Stanley Project.
The Flat Stanley Project was started by Dale Hubert in 1995, and is based
on a series of children's books by Jeff Brown. In the
story, Stanley Lambchop is a little boy who is squished
flat by his bulletin board as he sleeps one night. Being
flat allows Stanley to participate in a series of adventures
as he is mailed (or emailed) all around the world. Flat
Stanley has gone to such diverse locales as Ghana, Tibet,
and Afghanistan; flown in space on the Space Shuttle
Discovery; and met many politicians and celebrities.
 You
are invited to take photos of Flat Stanley — and
his friend, Flat Stella — at your school, institution,
local landmarks, etc., and submit them for inclusion
on the IEW web site. View
photos of Flat Stanley and Flat Stella! Suggestions
on how to submit your photos can be found here.
We hope to hear from you soon!
