Re: Promoting Science

As you know, we at Grange High School for Girls are actively trying __(1)__ the sciences to our student. Recent school league tables showed the students at Grange high School for Girls to be__(2)__ the lowest in science – related subjects.

Let them know that it is not “just for boys.” To make sure they understand what opportunities are available to __(3)__ with a good knowledge of biology, chemistry or physics, I am inviting a series of speakers to talk about their experiences. Wherever possible, these speakers will be women from the local community who are at the top of their field. Our first speaker will be Dr. Philippa Green, who is in charge of Grange Hospital’s blood laboratory. Our second speaker is not yet __(4)__ , but I have invited Mrs. Edwina Jones, color designer for Revreal hair Dyes Inc. Please encourage your students to attend these after – school talks.

Many thanks.

Re: Wireless Internet
It has __(9)__ to my attention that a lot of our customers are not aware that their computers have a wireless Internet connection capability. Recently several customers __(10)__ the store asking how to go about setting up an Internet connection.

Show the customer how easy it is to __(11)__ to the Internet in our store. We’d like you to show each customer how to apply for their warranty online. It will give a good __(12)__ of our store, and help the customer, too.
Thank you.
