I'm hoping you might be able
I'm hoping you might be able to add our initiative to your page.
A lot of grassroots volunteer effort has gone into making the Legacy Project's Web of Dreams happen. The Legacy Project is a national, non-partisan education initiative with the nonprofit Generations United in Washington, DC.
Hundreds of schools across the country are participating in the Web of Dreams as a way for students to share their dreams for America, and to better understand and participate in the historic inauguration (there are also free online lesson ideas linked to the inauguration and Martin Luther King Jr. Day).
Here's a message for Barack Obama we just received from students at an inner-city school in Rochester, NY:

The Web of Dreams runs to Friday, January 23. A complete news release is available here. I hope you'll be able to include something on your website listing and in your newsletter. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.
