• Greetings Dr. Locklear!
  
  Mr. Buckley's Public Speaking class is currently working on the Edina High School Problem/Issue Panel Presentation. My group is choosing an issue that we believe is present at Edina High School. Our panel will explain and analyze the problem, present possible solutions, and suggest a best solution. We decided to choose Collaborative Time as our topic. As part of our research process, we are conducting interviews with those persons who may have some knowledge and perspective regarding our issue. Would you be available to meet and discuss this issue with us? We could visit during our 2nd hour Public Speaking class on Friday or Monday, but can also be flexible with another time if that is helpful. Thanks for considering our request. We are excited to leave a legacy of change for improvement at Edina High School.
  
  Sincerely,
  
  Jonathan Buckley & Daniel Amborn
