Glen St Mary Post Office enjoys "little helpers"



If you happened by the Glen Saint Mary FL Post Office in late November you may have seen little helpers everywhere.

Glen St. Mary Postmaster Latrelle McDowell hosted a tour for Westside Elementary’s entire 2nd grade of about 200 students. 



Each class toured the facility which included the inside of a right-hand drive rural carrier vehicle furnished by Sanderson Rural Carrier Kim Pietrowski.

At the front window, they put all the little helpers to work at the window dating postcards that each child had handwritten and addressed with a special message to someone.





Then the students went on a scavenger hunt that taught them how a post office box works for customers to receive mail and packages.  



Postal coloring books and juice were provided for the students that made the trek from the school to the post office in chilly weather. 

Although teachers commented they were quite warm by the time they arrived at the post office, Nathan King, MacClenny Post Office supervisor, volunteered by talking about delivery to rural mailboxes, showing the rural mail vehicle and helping facilitate the kids as they toured the inside of the post office.
