Stamps are a great way to learn about our history, geography, culture, animals; you name it; about almost anything. Teachers can make topics interesting to their kids by introducing the topic via stamps. The Omaha Philatelic Society and its members have in the past visited many local area schools and have introduced the joy of collecting stamps to kids in the community, We have also at the request of school teachers given talks about special topics via stamps, these topics vary quite broadly, some of the topics presented in the past are listed below. Here is the OPS Teacher Support Flyer for teachers and educators.
