Bachmann Supports Local Teacher for 2010 Honeywell Space Camp
Washington, D.C.,
Oct 28 -
U.S. Representative Michele Bachmann (MN-06), wrote to the United States Space and Rocket Center last week to support the application of local science teacher, Robyn Zalec, for a spot in the Advanced Space Camp for Educators Program.
“Robyn Zalec is an example of a person who truly believes one should never stop learning,” said Bachmann. “She is the type of teacher who inspires students to dream beyond their very own imagination. They will certainly never forget her.”
Mrs. Zalec is an eighth grade science teacher at St. Michael-Albertville Middle School West. Mrs. Zalec attended the 2009 Honeywell Space Camp for Educators and used her experience from the 2009 Space Camp in her classroom and in her community to promote and nurture a love of science with local students. Together with other local teachers last week, she hosted a “Space Night” for her community.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to commend to your attention the application of Robyn Zalec for the Honeywell Advanced Space Camp for Educators. Mrs. Zalec is an eighth grade science teacher at Saint Michael-Albertville Middle School West in Minnesota’s Sixth Congressional District, and I’m pleased to support her application for this camp.
Mrs. Zalec utilized the information she garnered at the 2009 Honeywell’s Space Camp for Educators to better her classroom, her school, and her community. Not only has Mrs. Zalec enthusiastically performed science experiments that she learned at space camp, but she has shared information with other teachers in the Saint Michael-Albertville school district. Currently, Mrs. Zalec is planning a “Space Night” for her community to participate in to encourage learning and discovery at all ages.
Through Mrs. Zalec’s attendance at Advanced Space Camp, she can bring another layer of excellence to science education into her classroom and her community. Children every day are inspired to keep learning by dedicated and passionate teachers like Mrs. Zalec. She is an example of a person who truly believes one should never stop learning.
I understand that the Advanced Space Camp application process is highly competitive, but I hope you will give serious consideration to Mrs. Robyn Zalec’s application. She is the kind of teacher that will apply the lessons she learns to inspire those around her. Thank you for your time and deliberation. If you have questions, please contact my staff assistant, Becky Breitbarth at 202-225-2331.
Sincerely,
Michele Bachmann
Member of Congress
