We're Back!

(Note:  This is an old post from the end of the 2013-14 school year.)
We have been so busy collecting, counting, cutting, doing research on, and categorizing  stamps that we have totally neglected this blog.  It is the goal of The Stamp Network to activate it again and keep it up-to-date.

The Stamp Network is a group of  K-6 students who volunteer one recess a week to work for The Stamp Network.  During the 2013-14 school year, 78 students were "employed" by The Stamp Network.  

At the end of the 2013-14 school year we were approaching the 1/3 of a million mark but didn't quite make it.  Our total was 311,975.  Now we have only 688,025 more to go!

The student employees must complete an application form and have a recommendation from a teacher and be signed by a parent.  They are interviewed by the adult coordinator and, when possible, a group of student members of The Stamp Network.
