Community Connection was created by the Postal Service to help schools across the country in their quest for school improvement and student achievement.

No school can do it alone. Educators and administrators must rely upon their communities to supplement and support the resources necessary for school improvement. Toward that goal, the US Postal Service designed Community Connection – a school/community partnership for the nation’s elementary schools. With the resources of 39,000 area post offices, the nation’s most extraordinary archive of American history and culture, and specially designed curriculum enhancements, we offer extensive and significant tools to benefit educators, their students and their students’ families.

As documentarians of American culture for more than 160 years, our archive is vast and we are committed to delivering to teachers all the history and heritage we have to offer.

We hope you will join us in a Community Connection partnership.
