Stamford Connecticut Student Deliver a Postitive Message - "Wee" Love the U.S. Postal Service

St. Cecelia's students enjoy the Wee Deliver program.
Saint Cecilia Elementary School began participating in the Wee Deliver program in 1994, and has kept the program running every year since then.  Wee Deliver is a school-wide postal program designed to allow students in all grades (pre-K - 5th) to send and receive mail with teachers, classmates, parents and school staff.  

This unique program supported by the Springdale Post Office in Stamford CT, encourages children to write letters and to learn how the postal system works.

Wee Deliver is a student-run activity.  Fourth and Fifth graders are eligible to be postal workers, while children in all grades are encouraged to send mail. 

Saint Cecilia's has 4 sessions of Wee Deliver each year to accommodate the over 50 students that participate in the program as postal workers. Postmaster Andrea Dallas assists in deciding on creative contests and special mail days to encourage the students to write letters.  

Supermom Megan Janik has coordinated the Wee Deliver program for the last 10 years.
