Assignment: Why Michigan is the best state in the country


Drift at Sunrise by CaptPiper

We received an email from Mitchell Hirsch asking for a little help. We thought our Michigan-loving audience be able to help him out a little. In addition to mailing the things he asks for, maybe you could post a couple links to things he can print out. It's our duty as a state to ensure that Mitchell receives a great grade!

I am a fifth grader at George G. White Middle School in Hillsdale, NJ. I was given a report to do, explain why Michigan is the best state in the Country. I will be judged by my teachers and classmates. I would like to know if you can send me maps, pamphlets, pins, or any giveaways that I can give out during the judging.

Thank you for your help,
Mitchell Hirsch 28 Buff Lane
Hillsdale, NJ 07642

Mitchell will also be checking in here, so post links to sites and people that you think would help him in the comments below!

    So as a little icebreaker, my idea is that we can contact people we know (or don't know) who are in the business of promoting Michigan or who are doing cool things in Michigan and get them to mail Mitchell a little something.

    It would also be great if you post what you sent him or who you contacted below!!

    Michigan has so much that makes it special - all we need to do is take a few minutes to tell people about it.
