SCIENCE ALIVE 2016
A great week of science at Bridge Valley!
We started the week with an awesome Family Fun Night show “Science Magic” and hands-on activities provided by the DaVinci Science Center. During the week, all classrooms had a turn visiting the Lab (LGI) and becoming scientists for an hour. Thank you to the members of the Science Alive Committee for all their time and effort perfecting these experiments, and for their support to ensure the lab ran smoothly;
Connie Korb, Kumu Sivarajan, Janelle Laufer, Dan McGinnis, Lisa Wurster and Pallavi Awasthi.
The lab and experiments would not have happened if it were not for all of the parent volunteers. The parent volunteers came into the lab prepared and ready to have fun, and for that I express a sincere thank you!
An extra thank you goes out to Meredith Eater for running the Star Lab for our third graders.
Last, but of course not least, a huge thank you goes out to the teacher’s committee for the awesome posters and advertising the week received:
Mrs. Hauck, Mrs. Howley, Mrs. Ziska, Mrs. McLaughlin and Mrs. Lowery; Mrs. Fuller (posting all our information on the Tribune and website) and Mr. Aungst (for keeping everything set up).
A successful Science Alive takes a lot of time and effort, caring volunteers and a supportive staff. I thank you all deeply for making Science Alive a huge success. See you in 2017!
Sincerely,
Jennifer McGuire
