“Dear America, Love Arizona” postcard campaign connects Arizona classrooms statewide

YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) - A statewide postcard campaign is connecting classrooms statewide. The Arizona America250 commission partnered with the Arizona Department of Education to launch their "Dear America, Love Arizona" postcard campaign this week.

The nation is getting ready to celebrate America’s 250th anniversary. With the campaign, students statewide can fill out free postcards and write why they love Arizona and what they hope for America’s future.

“We're doing a bunch of different stuff including the traveling museum. This postcard writing campaign and these are ways for us to celebrate our country and what we're proud of and what we're excited for for the next 250 years of United States," said Visit Yuma Executive Director Marcus Carney.

Several completed postcards will be displayed at traveling museum stops and the Arizona capitol this spring. Schools can request postcards from now until February 9th here.
