Title: Re: Science Fair Competition

Hi Lou, IJAS is the organization - here is the url: http://www.niles-hs.k12.il.us/jacnau/IJAS/

Did you find out about the access to your teachers list to email or snail mail them the following invitation?

Dear Teacher,

As a teacher-leader, you are invited to serve as your school's Point of Contact for science as part of a national grant called Building a Presence for Science, currently in 27 states. The program is administered by the National Science Teachers Association and funded by the ExxonMobil Foundation. The goal is to identify one Point of Contact in each of the 5,183 public and private schools in Illinois.  As the Point of Contact for your school, you will be connected electronically to the Illinois science education community, at the state and national levels. You can expect to receive up to five messages per month relevant to science education, including grant opportunities, awards, and the latest information on assessment and legislation which directly affects you as a teacher. Your only responsibility as Point of Contact is to pass this valuable information on to other teachers in your school.

To access the network and find out more, go to the National Science Teachers Association website at http://ecommerce.nsta.org/bap/
To join the network, email your name, school, and city to Sherry Duncan at sjduncan@xxxxxxxx

We would also like to recognize your participation in this award-winning program. Please forward the name, title and mailing address of your administrator to Sherry Duncan at the above email address. We will send a letter to your administrator recognizing this leadership role for your school and your participation as a part of the NSTA electronic network.

Welcome! If you unable to serve as the Point of Contact, please forward the name and email address of someone at your school who can serve in your place. If you have any questions about the program itself, contact me at ddummitt@xxxxxxxx

Sincerely,



Diana Dummitt
Illinois State Coordinator,
