North Carolina 12th State

North Carolina

Postcard courtesy of Mrs. Brooks' 5th Grade.

Hello! We are a Fifth Grade Class with 60 students in a block. We really like our state. We have mountains on one end and the ocean on the other. There are many sights to see in between. We also have the Carolina Bobcats, and the Carolina Panthers. Hatteras lighthouse is the tallest one on the east coast of the US. We went on a trip to the Outer Banks in the Fourth Grade and it was great! We hope you like our card from North Carolina and will send us one from your state soon.
