Full Project Description:
As many of you know, Hazel Jobe has coordinated this project for several
years.  Hazel hated to see the project dropped but was unable to be the
coordinator although she is still willing to post the cards on her web site
again.

This is a quick, easy, almost painless project for the holidays. Not a lot
of work but with big returns.

Here is how it works:

1. Each class prepares a class Holiday Greeting Card. It can be an art
project of your choosing as long as you can get a picture of it onto your
computer. If you want to be really industrious, you can have each of your
students create a card and send a different one to each class on the list.
Either way, you only send one card to each school.

2. Send me the following information: MUST BE RECEIVED BY: November 20, 2000 to be
included in the list.
School Name:
City/State/Country:
Teacher's Name:
E-mail address:
Grade Level:

3. I will make a mailing list for all participants.  Do not wait until you
receive the mailing list to be creating your greeting card.  Participants web site will be at http://www.angelfire.com/va2/bjenglish/HOLIDAYLIST.html

4. Each class will send a message to the list and attach their Card.THESE
WILL NEED TO BE SENT NO LATER THAN December 13, 2000 since schools will be dismissing
for the holidays. This way we will each receive one card from each class on
the list.

5. All the cards will be posted on Hazel Jobe's Web site. You can see last
year's exchange there.

If you need help in preparing your pictures to email, you can find tips on
reducing the file size on Hazel Jobe's web page.

There is also a link to GraphicConverter there which can be used to convert
your pictures to .jpg or .gif. These two formats can be read by any web
browser. So try to send the cards in one of these formats.

I look forward to working with each of you to share the joy of the holidays
with all of the schools around the world.
