USPS Goes Way Beyond the Mail as ‘Mailman Marcus’ Virtually Reads ‘Sheldon’s Lunch’ to First Grade Class

For the first several months of the school year, Sycamore Park resident Amy Torrano, a first grade teacher at Saint Vincent de Paul School in San Francisco’s Marina district, was bringing in “mystery readers” to her class – mostly her students’ parents.
