She leaves this summer to return to her job for another year with Teach for America. Her school which is 45 minutes west of the city, in a rural town, is in need of resources. If you would be interested in helping out, you can donate online through www.donorschoose.org. If you search by keyword for "Sheehan," her proposals for "Calculated Learning" will pop up. Lindsey is also organizing a trip to take her AP Physics class to Disney World for a seminar on the Physics of roller coasters. They will be conducting research and presenting projects on their findings. If you are interested in contributing to this exciting learning experience, checks can be made out to "East St. John Physics." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Contact the Newsletter Editor, Liz Taylor opal-81@hotmail.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
