Dear Malden High School Faculty,

We are a group of freshmen from Ms.Legare US History 1 period 6th class. We are Participating in a civics program called Generation Citizens. The topic we have decided to focus on is Malden's budget cuts. We are in the early stages of creating a documentary about this issue. For part of our documentary we would like to interview a few teachers to collect information and opinions about the budget. This would require appearing on camera or/and being quoted. Please response to us as soon as possible at corynelegare@gmail.com. Thank you, Ms.Legare Period 6th
