Dear Mr. Champagne,

We are six 8th grade students from Moran Middle School, and currently we are working on podcast interviews for our social studies class. Right now we are scheduling interviews with the three candidates for mayor, and would greatly appreciate it if the Record Journal would run a story on our project. The podcast will involve school related issues such as education.The interview will be approximately 30 minutes long, and posted on our class podcast page. The interviews will take place some time between October 15 and October 19, so we will be able to post our podcast before the election. It will take place at Moran Middle School in Wallingford, CT. If you are interested in writing an article about our project, please contact us at PBogush@wallingford.k12.ct.us.

We are looking forward to hearing from you, Taylor Nardi Alexis Bukowski Isabelle Jacobson Sarah Lavalette Jillian DiTota Elizabeth Pereira

Dear Mr.Champagne,

Thank you so much for writing that nice article about us last week. After reading the article you wrote about us, Mayor Dickinson has decided to meet with us on Thursday October 25 at 12:50-1:30. We were wondering if you would like to write another article about our project, but this time instead of focusing on what we are doing, you could write about Mayor Dickinson's responses to education and technology in the 21st Century, an area which many have been highly critical of him. Mr.Bogush contacted Jay from the Record Journal website to see if he could come and videotape us this time. While we interview Mayor Dickinson our class will be live blogging on their reaction to the interview. They will be feeding questions to the interviewers, and posting their reactions to answers while the interview is going on. If you are interested please contact us at PBogush@wallingford.k12.ct.us.

We hope to hear from you, Taylor Nardi Alexis Bukowski Isabelle Jacobson Sarah Lavalette Jillian DiTota Elizabeth Pereira
