Invitation to visit Sandvika High School in Norway
During the President’s visit in Norway to receive the
Nobel Peace Prize, the students at Sandvika High School have the
pleasure of inviting President Barack Obama and Ambassador Barry B.
White to our school.
In Norway, naturally, the Nobel Peace Prize is close to heart.
Our students have taken a keen interest in how the award should be
spent on charities. In co-operation with their teachers, they have
created a web-page where suggestions are posted to the
President.
Sandvika High School is a new school with an advanced approach
to technology. Students and teachers have personal laptops, and the
use of Web 2.0 and social media is advanced. The students have
collaborated in one written document, and the web-page can be found
at this address:

Our school would be honored to give President Barack Obama a
picture of how our students have been engaged in the Nobel Peace
Prize.
During your stay in Norway, we cordially invite the President
and Ambassador to come and speak with the students at Sandvika High
School.
Yours sincerely
Arne Opsahl
Headmaster Sandvika vgs

Svar fra ambassaden:
Dear Mr. Opsahl
Thank you for inviting President Obama to visit Sandvika VGS. At
this point, we are very unsure of the President's schedule so we
cannot make any commitments on his behalf. In all honesty, it will
probably take some time before we can suggest any additions to the
President's schedule for Oslo.
It is, however, an interesting opportunity, so I will be happy
to include it on a list of possible activities for the Obamas while
they are here. The White House will choose what they are able to
do, based on the rather tight schedule that faces them.
Please feel free to get back in touch with us, should you have
further information or need further assistance. Please also let me
know if you’d like to invite Ambassador White to visit your
school on his own, if the Obamas are not able to come.
Best wishes,
Stephanie Darnell
Deputy Counselor for Press and Educational Affairs
U.S. Embassy
