Owney visited Noel Elementary School

Noel Elementary's favorite mail pouch pooch visited third graders on March 2 and 3 during their library classes. During his visit he got to watch as they looked at the Missouri Owney Project blog and Mona Kerby's website for information about him. The students enjoyed doing the online puzzles and watching the slideshows. They also enjoyed looking at the tags on the National Postal Museum site. Noel Elementary is located in Noel, Missouri. With the new census results, we have learned that our town's population is now 1,832. Our school has grades 3-8 and has approximately 400 students. Noel is known throughout the country as "The Christmas City" and every year thousands of Christmas cards are sent to the Noel Post Office to be stamped with a "Christmas City" seal. The reverse of the tag that we attached to Owney shows one of these seals. Noel is also known for its famous bluffs that hang over the highway and for the Elk River which runs through the middle of town. Noel is a popular tourist destination in the summer. We loved having Owney visit us!
