Get
ready, get set for an out of this world 'Deep Space' adventure. Grades K-2 and 3-6 will enjoy age appropriate
science assemblies. Bob Noss, with
Astronomical Journeys, is back for a 2nd year and has a new kitten entering
space for our grades K-2 assembly and our grades 3-6 kids will no doubt enjoy a
3D enhanced experience. Both assemblies
are during the school day so each child will get to participate and enjoy.
