One of our 6th grade teachers is planning on participating in the Mars 
events here, as well.

While that may true now (so far), we are still very interested in 
'success stories' of internet use in the classroom.  What you've done in 
the past qualifies.

Any chance the dates are such that we could have the benefits of one of 
your operations live here during Oct 27-29?  I know you need to have 
students involved hands-on but if it's not possible for you all to be 
here, maybe thru CUSeeMe?

I will forward this letter to the lady who is actually putting the 
publicity flyer together and I'll post a short 'application' that you can 
fill out and send to her over e-mail.  Right now, about all I have I 
could send you (for more information) is the flyer put out calling for 
volunteers.  I'd be glad to send that, however.  Do you have a FAX number?

The other coordinater is Cheryl Anderson.  her e-mail address is:
cheryla@the-college.iwctx.edu

I'll be in touch.
