This is the email I received Wednesday, if you do choose to listen you might hear a familiar voice...
Hello teachers,
Another great show! Thanks to you all for your efforts and for making this show a success! Alex Crowley from WCAI came to the HSS opening last week and conducted interviews with teachers, students and me for her NPR radio program "All Things Happening". The show will air this Friday 3/19 at 7:30 a.m. and 5:30 p.m. and then again on Saturday 3/20 at 8:35 a.m.
They are at 90.1 FM, and 94.3 FM if you can't get a signal on 90.1 in New Bedford. Their website is: www.capeandislands.org, and in a few weeks she will update it and have a link to the Gallery X story on there under the "All Things Happening" link.
Best,
Nilsa
