Greetings from Port St. John, Florida. We are from Atlantis Elementary School. Our school was named after the space shuttle Atlantis. Port St. John is located on the central east coast of Florida, close to Cape Canaveral - that is where the space shuttles are launched. We can actually watch shuttle launches from our schoolyard! There are 10 boys and 10 girls in our class. Florida winters are cool and dry, and our summers are hot and rainy. Central Florida is the lightning capital of the world. You can check out our class web site under Internet projects to see if we've gotten your postcard yet. The address is http://myschoolonline.com/FL/Miss_Black
