6th Grade Students at Taylorsville Elementary

Hi! We are fifty 6th grade students at Taylorsville Elementary
School in Taylorsville, North Carolina the county seat of
Alexander County. We are located in the foothills of the Brushy
Mountains and are often called “Apple City”. We have decided,
after seeing this done at another school, to map an e-mail
project. We are curious to see where in the world our e-mail will
travel via the Internet, between the period of December 13,2000
and April 1, 2001. This is not a pen pal project, so we will not
write you back (unless you request a verification).

We would like your help. If you receive this e-mail, we ask that
you:

1. E-mail us back at taylab@twave.net and tell us your
city/state/location so we can plot it on our map.

2. Forward this e-mail to everyone you know so that they can send
it to everyone they know (and so on) to help us reach even more
people (We won’t mind receiving repeats, so send it on to
everyone. We’re tracking the number of responses we receive as
well, and will be making a graph in our computer lab classes
using the numbers received by state.)

We will post our results on our school’s web site after our
deadline so that you can see how we did. Our site can be accessed
through http://www.alexanderk12.nc.us/tay/map.html. With your
help we can make this a very fun and exciting learning
experience.

PLEASE help us. Thank you for any help you can give.

Your friends,

Taylorsville Elementary’s 6th grade students
