talk with the people in your education department, and find out who does
student teaching placements.  they would have the school contacts.  chances
are they would be excited, after they got over the initial shock, of your
offer to do a summer workshop with local elem teachers.  ask them to work
with you to set it up and find the grant funding if needed.
