Hey Guys,

       We have an proposal from the McAuliffe Regional Charter Public School
in Framingham, MA to be a part of their 8th Grade space project.  They are
looking to interview space experts on up-to-date space research projects.
 How would you guys feel about giving an interview on our involvement in
HSIS?  Let me know.

Dear Space Experts,

My name is Dan Anderson and I am the 8th grade science teacher at McAuliffe
Regional Charter Public School in Framingham, MA. I received most of your
names from David Hewitt who worked with me last year on this project.  In
addition, some of you even contacted me last year expressing interest in
this space project that I have my 8th graders work on.  So I am now reaching
out to you to see if you would like to be apart of this project this year.
I have attached the summary and an expert job description document for you
all to read over if you still are interested in helping out.

The Christa McAuliffe Remembrance Event project last year was very
successful and I could not have done it without the help and dedication of
our experts who worked with our 8th graders. If you do choose to help out,
the interviews with the experts will most likely take place the second week
of January and a follow up interview will be done shortly after.  For you
convenience, the interviews can be done over the phone, through Skype, or
though e-mail. At times, if the expert is close enough, we can take the
students to your lab to meet you and see your work/research.   However,
students get more excited when they get to actually see or talk to an
expert.  Again, the specific to this project are all outlined in the
documents attached. Students will be in small groups and they would be
assigned or will pick a topic relates to your particular  space expertise.

If you know another professional or scientists who would like to work with
me on this projects please send them this e-mail or just give them my e-mail
and I would be happy to send them the information. I am aiming to increase
the space topics this year. So if you have a new research project please let
me know. Moreover, I would love to get an astrobiologist and another
astronaut to join this project. So if you know anyone please let them know
about this project or just send them my contact information. Please respond
back to me at your earliest convenience if you would like to be apart of
this wonderful project. So once again, I hope all of you can join in on the
fun this year!
Thanks again for taking the time to read this e-mail and I appreciate any
and all efforts you can give our school.

Sincerely,

 Dan Anderson

8th Grade Science Teacher
