 To
celebrate 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 to the IEW web site.
View our suggestions
on how to submit your photos.
We hope to hear from you soon!
