Something for the News Team? 'UNCW, School Districts Using "Squeak"'

Interesting press release here:
http://appserv02.uncw.edu/news/article.asp?ID=2148

I've extracted a one-paragraph summary suitable for posting to news.squeak.org:

"Teachers and students in North Carolina will soon be learning to use
"Squeak" software to create virtual models that simulate actual
science and math-related experiments. A grant-funded partnership
between the University of North Carolina Wilmington and the New
Hanover, Pender and Brunswick County schools is addressing concerns
over students' declining interest in computing by infusing IT skills
into the curriculum in grades 7-12. The three-year-long project will
work directly with about 75 educators who teach the Science,
Technology, Engineering, Mathematics (STEM) curricula and 150 of their
students. "

By the way, should there be an official 'news' address on the site
that such proposed articles could be sent to?
