Write to Deployed Troops, Wounded Warriors, and/or Veterans.
Your task:
Part 1: Use a template to create a card
Open Word. Click File > New > Office.com Templates > Cards > Holiday or Thank You cards
Choose a card: Be sure the card is designed for 8.5 x 11 paper.
- Personalize the card: Address the card to "Dear Service Member" or "Dear Hero"
- Write a message to the Service Member.
- Share something about yourself: Family, Pets, favorite Sports or Hobbies.
- Do not include email or home addresses on the cards: the program is not meant to foster pen pal relationships.
- Do not include inserts of any kind, including photos: these items will be removed during the reviewing process.
- Include your FIRST name ONLY, Morris Hills High School, 520 West Main Street, Rockaway, NJ 07866
- Print, fold, and sign the card by your name. (FIRST NAME ONLY)
Part 2: Create a card from scratch
Take a sheet of paper and fold it in fourths to create a card. Mark each side with A, B, C, and D.
A = front of the card
B & C = are the inside of the card
D = Back of the card
Open the sheet of paper and notice the quadrants.
A and D are upside down. Therefore, you will need to "flip" vertically and horizontally. Graphics and ClipArt can be flipped. Textboxes cannot in Word 2007 but CAN in Word 2010.
Open Word. Change your margins to .5 in. Display rulers.
To help you see your "workspace," draw a line down the middle of the page (3 3/4" mark) and across the middle of the page (5" mark).
Create a holiday card. Wish the person well. Feel free to search for quotes, lyrics, jokes; content for the inside of the card. Also include a personal message. Don't forget to spell check.
B and C should contain text boxes. Be sure to put your FIRST name on the card along with Morris Hills School, 520 West Main Street, Rockaway, NJ 07866.
Before you print your card, remove the "guide" lines. Also Print Preview!
