Projects Other school contacts came as a result of mutual projects. We were one of only two schools in the United States participating in a project involving ecology and energy conservation called Science Around The World, organized by Bill Coulter. We also had a very organized e-mailing with Banbridge Academy in Ireland, including an America Online Instant Chat session. Brenda Miller at Bearden Middle School in Knoxville, Tennessee got us involved in a project called Roadkill '97 . Students collect data and report on roadkill sightings.
Students can also publish their writing on the subject.
The findings are compiled and made available as a scientific survey. It's not for everyone, but I did have quite a few takers. At the end of the school year, our students were working on a project to get a conference set up between themselves and all our contact schools. They modified the plan many times without much success. Among the people contacted were the Governor of Connecticut John Roland and President Clinton.
