Email Template for Parents to Send the Principal & Department Chair

Subject: Title IV-A Civics & STEM Lab Opportunity + Student Hardware Grant (Looking Glass OS)

Dear Principal [Last Name] and [Civics / Journalism Department Chair],

As parents of seniors at [High School Name], we are writing to share an academic and civic technology grant opportunity for our 11th- and 12th-grade students this semester.

Our students have been invited to join the Founding Editorial Board of Looking Glass OS & Sovereign Studio, an interactive open-source research (OSINT), data-journalism, and civic research platform designed specifically for high schools and families.

Unlike social media platforms, Looking Glass OS operates in a 100% walled-garden environment with a Parent & Faculty Double-Key Safety Protocol. Students use primary federal and state spending databases, geospatial chronolocation math, and cryptographic SHA-256 verification to research civic infrastructure, budgets, and elections, and they build signed research records for their college applications.

How [High School Name] can claim a classroom & hardware grant:

• Up to 30 student seats included ($2,500 classroom grant value): unlocks the full Looking Glass OS Workbench, the interactive Cadet Lesson Simulator, and the Parent/Faculty-Gated Podcast Studio.
• Student PC & audio hardware support: through the platform's Student PC & Scholarship Grant Pool, participating schools and students in need can also request dedicated computer workstations and podcasting equipment.

We have attached the one-page School Civic Lab & Student PC Hardware Grant Application. Could we schedule a brief 15-minute demo this week with the founder, Kristen Hall, and our participating seniors to show you the software?

Warm regards,

[Parent Names]
