I love it when I'm reading a random article and ARISS is mentioned.

"The observatory has long worked to share its scientific and
engineering expertise with local schools, a partnership that has paid
off most recently with the announcement that the Green Bank
Elementary-Middle School was one of 10 schools nationwide selected to
host HAM radio contacts with International Space Station crew members
later this year."

The text in the article also links to an ARRL page about the selected schools:
