8th Annual Young Scientists’ Day!!! Thursday, November 14, 2013
We need a few more Scientist Presenters to speak to our 3rd – 5th grade students in groups of about 20 (you present the same material/activity to two different groups). Are you a Pharmacist? Veterinarian? Doctor? Chemist? Astronomer? Geographer? We want you to be a speaker or volunteer to help others that day! We also need a Co-Chair for this Committee starting fall of 2014.
