Nathan and Jane,

Congratulations!  Your podcast was selected for a Kidcast Award in the Editorial POV category!  I apologize for how long this contest has drug on, but we’ve finally wrapped it all up.  The judges were very impressed and complimentary of you and your students work.  I, for one, enjoy holding up your podcast as an example for teachers and students everywhere.  Thank you for engaging your students in this medium and helping them develop their sense of inquiry, argument, point of view, and communication.  You are giving them gifts that will anchor them solidly in their future.

Your trophy is on its way and should arrive soon!

Thank you again for you participation!  I wish you continued success with your show!
