Our outreach event at Stone mountain Mifddle School was great!   We had about 350 students attend the presentations (8 of them) and the Solar Observing.  Thanks to Frank Garner, Phillip Sacco and Theo for reaching out to the students of this school.  Madeline Hill, who was our contact point at the school wrote:

Thank you so much for an awesome day at Stone Mountain Middle School.  The students were so excited to see and hear about the planets, the moons, the relative size and distance of the Earth in comparison with the sun.  I believe they were all shocked with awe to see the sun spots and the solar flares.  One student’s parent came to get him for a doctor’s appointment.  As he was leaving school, he ran over to us and  made her wait while he got a peek at the sun before leaving.  (smile).

I believe that everything they experienced will be remembered on their CRCT exams.  My gratitude is extended to you gentlemen for taking time from your busy schedules to spend a day enlightening our students.  That was my first time looking at the sun like that, and for many of our students, it may be the only solar viewing experience they will get in their life time.
