Here’s how you can help: share our request with family members or friends you know that live outside of Ohio, or even share on social media. Ask them to send us a letter, card, or postcard to say hi or tell us more about the area they live. We will document our special mail on a large map. We cannot wait to start getting mail of our own from places near and far! Please send mail to: Bethel Elementary Attn: 1st Grade 7490 S. St. Rt. 201 Tipp City, Ohio 45371 *All mail needs to be received by late March. Thanks for your help!
