Principal introducer: Sandown North Principal brought a teacher and four students to the school board meeting to show a new in‑school mail program that gives each hallway a name, installs mailboxes outside classrooms, and assigns rotating student jobs to run the system.

Miss Teitelbaum, a teacher at Sandown North Elementary School, described the program as “a mail system that allows kiddos to write letters to staff members, to students, within our school building,” and said the idea began as a staff initiative to reinforce community values such as friendship, teamwork, creativity and resilience. Students may personalize stamps and take on roles including a postmaster, facers who check addressing and stamps, sorters, and letter carriers.

Board members asked operational questions and heard details about scope and timing. The presenters said students can drop letters daily but the student postal crew will sort and deliver weekly, with a Monday delivery for letters submitted by the previous Friday. One student explained why they applied: “I want to help people and be kind,” Jackson said, describing his motivation to be a letter carrier.

Administrators noted the program aimed to provide authentic leadership and work‑skills experiences for students across grades 1–5; more than 90 students applied, about 27% of the school, and rotations were planned to give many students a chance to participate. The board thanked the students and staff and encouraged community members to visit the office to see the system in action.

The presentation did not include any formal board action beyond recognition and questions. Staff will continue implementation at Sandown North and report any significant changes to the board.
