Just checked out their site....it was real, but the project is over:

Taylorsville's 6th Grade E-Mail Project

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Due to overwhelming response from around the United States and the World, Taylorsville Elementary's 6th Grade Class asks that you refrain from sending more e-mail. At the present time the class is 24,000 e-mails behind in checking responses.

The class had no idea that the response to their project would be so positive. As of this time the class has received over 45,000 responses from all 50 states and all seven continents. Thanks to all who have participated and made this project a success.
