["Scott H. Stevens / N3ASA" <n3asa@xxxxxxxxx>]

The ARISS team is pleased to announce that the next school 
contact with the International Space Station astronauts 
will take place Tuesday, 10 August between the ISS crew 
and students at Good Shepherd School, Decherd and St. 
Paul's in Tullahoma, Tennessee, USA. The contact is 
scheduled to begin about 1343 UTC. This contact is being 
shared by Good Shepherd and St. Paul Catholic.

This will be a direct contact between the Space Station, 
NA1SS, and St. Paul's School in Tullahoma, Tennessee's 
K4FUN

Please note, the packet station will be turned off prior 
to the beginning of the contact.  It will be returned to 
service as quickly as possible.  Thank you for your 
patience.

"School of The Good Shepherd is a continuation of 
Winchester Academy, which was opened in September of 1903 
by the Dominican Sisters in conjunction with the Good 
Shepherd Parish.  The present school was built and 
dedicated in 1966.  In 1992, the school began a new phase 
under lay administration after the Dominican Sisters were 
called back to Nashville.  The tradition of quality 
Catholic education in a loving, caring, and nurturing 
environment continues today."

"St. Paul the Apostle School is a small (107 students) 
kindergarten through eigth grade school located in 
Tullahoma, TN.  It has been in existence for the past 
fifty years.  Originally; it was staffed by the Dominican 
Sisters.  Gradually, however, lay teachers joined the 
faculy.  Today, the school is completely staffed by lay 
teachers.  St. Paul stresses Christian values, high 
academics, and social development.  It is a current member 
of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools."

Station. Teachers, parents and communities experience,
