Where is Flat Stanley in Aliso Viejo?

The next musical theater production at is underway and this year involves a bit of extra adventure.

The cast and crew of Snow White, along with their families, have begun a Flat Stanley project in Aliso Viejo. The Flat Stanley Project began in 1994 as a way to encourage literacy and inspire children to write stories. Children create their own Flat Stanley paper dolls, which are then sent to family and friends around the globe. The family and friends take pictures of Stanley in their town then send him back to the child. Stanley has many stories to tell.

This week CVES students are creating their own Flat Stanley doll and were given an assignment to take pictures of him around Aliso Viejo.

Students and parents are encouraged to upload photos of Stanley to Aliso Viejo Patch.

CVES musical director Holly Telford-Williams, said she is excited to have the students “share this project amongst the residents in our community. [It] will be an opportunity to bring our community together in support of the program.”

In April CVES families will gather in Grand Park for a Flat Stanley Amazing Race Family Scavenger Hunt. Participating teams are encouraged to dress in coordinating colors to distinguish themselves as teams. The team to find the most Flat Stanley dolls will be named the winner.
