FLAT DR. BROWN:

Are you familiar with Flat Stanley?  If you have young children, you may know exactly who we’re talking about!  If not, allow me to explain.  Flat Stanley is a fictional character in a children’s book written by Jeff Brown.  Stanley was squashed by a falling bulletin board in school, and his parents rolled him up, put him in an envelope, and mailed him to a friend in California so that he could go on a variety of adventures!  Many primary teachers make Flat Stanleys to give to their students.  The children take Flat Stanley home and take photos of Flat Stanley doing ALL SORTS of things….riding on the lawn mower, going to the beach, playing at the playground, etc.  The child is then required to write about Flat Stanley’s adventures and tell their classmates what Flat Stanley did when he was with their family.  It’s a great opportunity for students to have fun while learning how to write and share information with their classmates.  


With that said, we are going to have some fun this summer with our very own FLAT DR. B!!  😃 Here’s how it works:

1.  We’ve printed and laminated some Flat Mr. Bs.  You can get these from Laura Wissinger, Kim Hostetler, or Pam Shaffer, our church secretary.  

2.  Take your Flat Mr. B on adventures throughout the week and take photos of him doing all sorts of things!

3.  Text your photo(s) to Kim Hostetler at (814) 242-8259 or email the photo(s) to salixbethelchurch@gmail.com.

4.  If you’d like, please give a brief description (if it’s not obvious) or tell where your Flat Dr. B is.  For example, I received a photo of Flat Dr. B riding in an airplane headed to Florida!  Please let me know all the fun details!

5.  Please include your name as well so I can give credit when we post these to social media.  If you don’t want your name included, that’s fine too!

6.  When Flat Dr. B starts to get cranky, eats too much, or snores too loud, kindly return your Flat Dr. B to Pam, Kim, or Laura and someone else will adopt him for a week or so!  😂

7.  Most importantly, HAVE FUN with this summer project!  I can’t wait to see all of your photos!
