Nick, great that you were able to get this off, and I am sorry that I could not help. Suncrest middle is one of the 28 professional development schools for our 5 year teacher education program at WVU. If the proposal is funded and you think it would fit in somehow, I am up for seeing if any science or math teachers would like to incorporate into their curriculum lessons that use "human powered transportation" as a context to teach concepts of energy as well as further mathematical competence.

Good morning, For anyone interested Positive Spin has completed its 2007 Safe Routes to Schools grant application. A total of $16000 was applied for to support education and site survey tasks that will make Suncrest Middle School a safer and more attractive place for kids who want to get daily exercise on the way to school. A printed copy is available for viewing at the Positive Spin world headquarters in Grand Central Station. An electronic version can be sent on request.
It is my intent to make SMS a model school for other Morgantown schools so I'm making all materials and resources available to anyone (or group) who would like to start a similar program in any other school. Many valuable resources are available at no cost, including consulting from the State Coordinator, Becky Davison. Whatever happens to our application, we will begin working with the school on no-cost activities and invite participation from anyone else who's interested.
I'd like to than Don Spencer for his support of the application. This morning as we were putting finishing touches on the proposal he brought support letters from the mayor, other council members and the Suncrest Neighborhood Assoc. John Lozier and Will Ravenscroft also contributed much-appreciated time and enthusiasm to getting this report in the mail on time.
Have a great weekend. Nick Hein
