Family Science Night Fun!

There was a great turnout at Terraset's Family Science Night on Thursday, May 7th. The Children's Science Center brought its Museum Without Walls Mobile Lab to Terraset. With over 15 exploratory stations, Terraset students enjoyed some hands-on science thanks to a number of volunteers— coordinated by Mrs. Standiford, Terraset's Advanced Academics Resource Teacher— from both the school and the Children's Science Center. A big thanks to Metaswitch Networks! Their sponsorship AND volunteer help contributed to a very successful night.
