The project began with a 2011 planning grant from The Health Foundation of Greater Cincinnati. “Concerns about students not receiving primary health care and the incidence of children suffering from debilitating chronic diseases and behavioral problems prompted us to work with The HealthCare Connection to address these issues,” says Dr. Gary Pack, Superintendent, Princeton City School District.

“We have worked closely with the school district since we opened in 1967,” says Dolores Lindsay, CEO of The HealthCare Connection. “It was a natural fit to work with them to ensure healthier students, who will be better prepared to learn.”

Students travel across the country through Flat Stanley Project

EVANSTON, OH (FOX19) - Second grade students at Alliance Academy of Cincinnati are taking trips around the world. Lucky for them, they never have to leave the classroom. Students in Miss. Horner’s class began the Flat Stanley Project in October.

Each student created and colored their own flat Stanley or flat Sandy and made a list of where to send them. Stanley and Sandy’s first big trip was to the 2012 World Series. They now are making their way to New York, Germany, Pennsylvania, and Michigan.

“Flat Stanley and Sandy bring others parts of the world to our classroom and create teachable moments,” said Krissy Horner, Alliance second grade teacher.

Flat Stanley and Sandy will continue to travel throughout the school year. Students anxiously await the return of their dear friends from their worldly travels.
