InvitationSussex Avenue School in Newark, New Jersey is searching for schools to participate in a "World Wildcat Alliance". The Wildcat is the school's mascot. He wants to travel the world to meet different people in different cultures to form alliances. Please send your name, school, address and email address to swatson@nps.epals.com if you are interested. The deadline to apply is March 24, 2006. The purpose of this project is to develop knowledge of the world and its people through reading, writing, social studies, science, math, and technology. Students will learn about children their own age and discover the similarities and differences between themselves and their new friends. Teachers can also learn from each other - projects done in classrooms, curriculum and management ideas, use of technology, etc.

This can be a photograph that you mail to us or an image taken with a digital camera sent to us via e-mail.
We’d also like to have a picture that represents your geographical region. For example, if you live near mountains, maybe you’d like to send us a picture of them. Do you live in a city, suburb, or a rural area? What ethnic groups live in your community? What have people built to make it easier to live -- parks, roads, and bridges?
