Noel Primary School LOVES Owney!

On Friday, March 4, Owney made a whirlwind trip to Noel Primary School. We had hoped to have more time with Owney, but due to the bad weather we had this winter, his visit was short--but very sweet. Noel Primary School is located in Noel, Missouri and has about 220 students in grades Early Childhood through 2nd grade. In preparation for Owney's visit, the students got to look at information about Owney on the Internet and learn more about his life. The weather was rainy when Owney visited, so he didn't get to go outside and play with the kids, but he did visit the library and the 1st and 2nd grade classrooms. Noel Primary School is in Noel Missouri and is known as the Christmas City. Many people come to Noel in the summer to camp and float on the Elk River, which meanders through the town. We really enjoyed visiting with Owney and wish him luck on his travels with the mail through the state of Missouri.
