April 22nd, 2008 - Earth Day! Rye Junior High participated in a collaborative effort with people around the world to broadcast a live event, celebrating Earth, for 24 hours: "Earthcast ‘08"! The Junior High's participation in the event was thanks to Ms. Sheila Adams. Ms. Adams works tirelessly to bring technological advances and opportunities to the students at Rye Junior High. Rye Junior High was responsible for broadcasting live during the hour between 9 and 10 am. During this time, students shared their thoughts about global issues. It was also during this hour that I was able to share my experiences in Antarctica with those listening. You can hear some of the archived event by listening to the audio below.

It was wonderful to be able to participate in such a global event. My sincere thanks go out to Ms. Adams for making it all possible!
