On this Monday we are welcoming a new week with the STEM Education Commemorative Forever Stamps; they are highlighting Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. The USPS last Friday was celebrating the First-Day-of-Issue Dedication Ceremony for the STEM Education Commemorative Forever Stamps.
In explaining about these stamps note there are four stamps designs (with five each) on the sheet of 20 stamps. You’ll notice how each row spells one letter, so reading down the rows, it is spelling the acronym STEM.
“In an increasingly competitive world, proficiency in the fields collectively known as STEM — science, technology, engineering and mathematics — is more critical than ever… feature a collage of faces, symbols, drawings and numbers that represent the complexity and interconnectedness of the STEM disciplines.”
And lastly, the stamps are available online for purchasing and check your local Post Office too.
In conclusion, perhaps these stamps will have us thinking ‘Back to School” and become the “apple of our eye” for preferring to use with our letter writing. Enjoy!
Anchors Aweigh,
