[meteorite-list] AZ Teacher asking for help - Geology

Fri Mar 16 19:25:54 EDT 2012

Hi Mike!

I really have no clue who she is.  I would truly like to see meteoritic and 
planetary sciences start way early in a child's life.  The schools I went to 
growing up had nothing!
I did some research and noticed her district does in fact recommend that 
service she used.....possibly due to a lower overhead for managing the 
money.  I was thinking her hands might be tied.  Technically she should 
probably not be accepting money on her own for that districts classes....she 
is an employee and that could lead to many issues!
However, if you think about it, 17% is not too bad considering other 
Non-Profits that use about 80% for overhead for disaster services!
And, it's traceable as to how the money is spent, if I understand it 
correctly.

I'll have to check out her site.  I am looking for an AZ public school that 
can take advantage of the AZ tax law, $1 for $1 match on the AZ State Tax 
that can somehow make meteorite donations fit the schema.  They then will be 
getting meteorites if they have a valid reason!

I hope she raises the funds for what she needs....it would be very cool if 
it happened in "our" neighborhood of friends and colleagues!

Best!

Jim

Jim, you beat me to it ...   I came back to my computer, thinking I
might at least ask if you knew how a person could send a donation to
the teacher and the school, and what do I find but your note
suggesting just that.

Mrs Baker does seem to be a pretty cool teacher.  I might wish my kids
had had such an imaginative science teacher.

Someone with a personal website titled TheScienceQueen.net deserves
more than lip service.  Yes, I will forward her a donation via PayPal
-- all I needed was her email address, and it shows up on her Science
Queen page.

Please don't let my personal biases and rant dissuade you from
encouraging support for worthwhile activities.  Goodness knows there
is as big a need today as ever for creative science education.   I
merely have to think back to a recent political campaign that somehow
got their wires so crossed as to poke fun at a $2 million dollar
'overhead projector'

Press On!    -- Mike
